Product Description

 
In a remote Alaskan town called Nightmute, the murder of a teenage girl has shocked the tight-knit community. The Los Angeles Police Department sends two of its cops--both under investigation by Internal Affairs--to try to solve the crime in Christopher Nolan's film based on Erik Skjoldbjfrg's 1997 Norwegian film starring Stellan Skarsgerd. The experienced, weathered Will Dormer (Al Pacino) has nothing in life except for the force. His younger partner, Hap (Martin Donovan), has a family to support and is willing to turn state's evidence to protect them. Local cop Ellie Burr is excited to work with her hero, Dormer--until she starts uncovering some questionable situations. It isn't long before Dormer finds the murderer--writer Walter Finch, played with subtle nuances by Robin Williams--but Finch knows a secret that could bring Dormer down. Director Nolan, who stunned audiences with 2001's inventive MEMENTO, here crafts an atmospheric psychological thriller that is bathed in whites and grays. The acting is...

Memento is about loss of memory; Insomnia is about loss of focus.

Date of Review:  May 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Al Pacino! Robin Williams! Hilary Swank! Ladies and gentlemen, this is Insomnia! The murder mystery of 2002! There, those should make good keywords.
Review: Don't worry, Will. You can sleep when you're dead.

All I have to say is thank Heavens they didn't use this line in the movie! It was in the trailer, and has served as catalyst to many of my seemingly unprovoked laughs at work (I know they...

Insomnia - Lack of Sleep Drives Will Crazy

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Insomnia is a suspenseful, enjoyable thriller. Robin Williams is great in his role. The movie is really good, and worth watching.
Review: I first saw a preview for Insomnia a few months ago when I was at a movie. Ever since then, I?ve been waiting to see Insomnia. I thought it looked like it would be good, and Robin Williams is in it. I?ve been a fan of Williams for years. The trailer...

Insomnia: Unlikely allies in the wilds of Alaska.

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: One of the better detective/mystery films to come out in recent years. A minimum of violence but plenty of psychological realism.
Review: As a chronic insominiac myself, I couldn't resist putting this one down as a request at my job. Adapted from the thriller by the same name, it's a creepy little psychological bit of mayhem changed to an American setting and actors. The original was...
