Insomnia starring:Al Pacino,Robin Williams,Hillary Swank Directed by:Christopher Nolan R Insomnia is three things.First off it’s a re-make of a 1997 film.The second thing it’s new comer Christopher Nolan’s second film after one of my favourite’s,Memento and the third thing,well that can wait.Anyways Insomnia isn’t as good as Memento though,but it’s sure close. Pacino plays a famous LA cop who is sent to Alaska down with his partner to investigate with the murder of a local teenage girl.He finds out that there in the season where it’s sunlight 24/7 for 5 months.Things get complicated he accidentally shoots his partner while looking for the murder.He then is getting many calls from the main suspect played by Robin Williams.Williams’ character is a local writer.The two meet and have conversations amongst themselves.They come up with a plan to frame the teenage girl’s boyfriend.But thing’s get screwed up. Nolan is one of the best director’s ever.He is climbing the charts on my fav director’s list.His films are so interesting to view.Even with the simplest stories he can make them into great things.In this film he gives no mercy.In the film Pacino can’t sleep,every single night,or day.During his day at work the walls begin to cave in on him.On top of having to deal with a murder case and fazing the fact he killed his partner.We can hear strange noises and sounds,Pacino can’t think.And by the end Pacino is a wreck.Nolan make’s sure that you can feel those wall caving in,he makes them cave in on you too. The acting was great.Pacino was really excellent.I loved all of those smart ass quotes he would say.Whatever he says people do it.He says something it’s done.If you have an idea,well tough beans it’s wrong.Ya,that’s the kind of person Pacino’s character is.Williams was great too.He should do a lot more acting in the field of drama.His dialouge was great too.The way he talked it was just really eerie. Insomnia should be reconzied in the Best Picture,Best Actor,Best Supporting Actor,and Best Director come Oscar season.The atmosphere is really eerie and creepy.By the end it makes you tired,not because the movie was bad.Just because well.....find out for yourself. Remember at the start if my review when I said there was a third thing about this film well,Insomnia is the Best film I have seen in 2002 so far. 8.5/10 --Logan Groves ----blankpage----
