INSOMNIA (7/10) When compared to other remakes of foreign films this one is head and shoulders above most all the competition. Solid direction, stylized cinematography and a very interesting story. IMo however the film could have done with sokme serious editing. This becomes very evident when viewing the original which contains pretty much all the same information, trexture and mood delivered in just 90minutes. Where the original was a taut, punchy thriller with oodles of atmosphere....the remake is a longwinded but ultimately satisfying experience. I also prefer Stellan Skasgaaurds (sp?) performance over Pacino's but all in all would definetly recommend this one as one of the few remakes worth watching.
