Watch this film if you have insomnia!

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2002)

I don't care that the actors won three academy awards. I don't care that Christopher Nolan is supposed to be an up and coming director. I don't care that this script is supposed to be tight and taut.
I don't care because this movie is boring!
Pacino is great as Dormer, but Dormer doesn't actually do any police work. Robin Williams plays a good psychotic, but we have to hear most of his best dialogue through telephone conversations. The only character that does anything useful is Ellie Burr, played by Hilary Swank.

It is a crime though that this movie was released Memorial Weekend after the gigantic releases of the "feel good" movies Spiderman and Star Wars: Episode II. However, releasing it at any other time may not have made that much of a difference. The tag line reads: "Don't close your eyes." Because if you do you may fall asleep.
