A murder mystery brimming with talent.

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2002)

No spoilers here. Insomnia has everything you expect and something you've always wanted. Pacino is at the top of his game although definitely in his niche as a homicide detective. Robin Williams brings a haunting craziness to the screen so that you realize we've been missing out by not having Robin Williams cast as the heavy more often. Hillary Swank is almost out of her league, but hangs in there to perfectly compliment an all Oscar-winning front line. Kudos to Nicky Katt for not staying on the porch on this one. It's his best role since Waking Life! Even Maura Tierney gets an honorable mention.
Given the intense editing and directing, you'll be able to forgive the nearly predictable ending. Good Job, one and all!
