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...

Stark, dark, bright & brilliant, Insomnia will keep you awake.

Date of Review:  May 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: One of the most satisfying crime thrillers in years. See it. And then give the original a rent. It's only fair.
Review: John Carpenter knew it when directing his 1982 classic The Thing. Filmmakers extraordinaire Joel & Ethan Coen also knew it when they were putting together their phenomenal Fargo. If you're trying to create an insular, sterile and unsettling world...

Daylight Film Noir: Insomnia

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Al Pacino does his usual good job, as does the supporting cast, but my mind rejects Robin Williams as a villain. Good detective story, nonetheless.
Review: It's all about small stuff. You know, small lies, small mistakes. People give themselves away, same in misdemeanors as they do on murder cases. It's just human nature. Det. Will Dormer

You have to pay close attention watching Insomnia, as...

Sleep is good for you...Insomnia.

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great performances and a semi-thrilling storyline, until the end.
Review: I can t say that this particular review is going to be a very memorable experience at the theater for me. But this was not because of the movie, but because I originally first saw Insomnia in the theater, with a now ex-boyfriend. Yuck! It s a good...

Take Two Sleeping Pills and Call Me in the Morning

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Tired? Need a little mystery to help you sleep? Pop some Insomnia.
Review: Robin Williams is an intriguing fellow. At one moment he can be crazy like a bat out of hell with his rapid fire jokes or he can be sincere as a psychologist and yet, even still, he can be effective as killer-type. I think it has something to do...

Christopher Nolan?s Insomnia (2002)

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great performance by Al Pacino who looks like he could use a nap. This movie will grab you once it is well underway.
Review: It has taken me awhile to get it together to write this review. This is an extraordinary movie. Up until recently, I wasn t sure how I felt about it. I think that most of the fans of Memento and Following, Chris Nolan s first two unusual and...

Insomnia? Nah, it's a sleeper

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: I should have searched and watched the Norwegian version instead since this was a waste of time. I wouldn't recommend it
Review: "A good cop can't sleep because a piece of the puzzle is missing and a bad cop can't sleep because his conscience won't let him", a quote from rookie cop, Ellie Burr to LAPD detective Will Dormer. That about sums up the movie right there. If there...
