Insomnia

The new film by Christopher Nolan (Memento) stays very faithful to the original foreign language film of 1997, until the ending. Al Pacino gives an excellent performance as a police officer from LA sent to a small town in Alaska during the summer to help with a murder investigation. He really looks like he hasn’t slept in days, and not just because of the 24 hour daylight. Robin Williams portrays a local writer, without any of his usual histrionics. Hilary Swank has a supporting role as a local cop who is smarter than she looks. I enjoyed this suspenseful film, and it’s psychological twists.
