Insomnia well-acted, well-done

Date of Review:  May 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a really good movie, well-done and with a great cast.
Review: Insomnia is a well-made, well-acted, well-written movie. I suppose the right genre is "thriller." But it's not about making you jump or scream. It's about tension.

Al Pacino plays L.A. Det. Will Dormer. Dormer is well-respected, and he and...

Insomnia will without a doubt keep you wide awake.

Date of Review:  May 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: Insomnia will keep your interests to the grand finale. Check it out!
Review: Insomnia is by Chris Nolan (Memento) and when I heard this I knew the film should be fairly decent. Well I was right. Having only seen his film Memento, I am starting to see his trend. He seems to be doing crime movies but the protagonist has some...

Sleep=Dreams=Nightmares=Insomnia

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: Insomnia is a mind-bending psychological thriller which will leave you on the edge of your seat with your eyes wide open!
Review: I went to see Insomnia after reading a few epinion reviews. I was very much looking forward mostly to the All-Star cast. I've not seen Hillary Swank since Boys Don't Cry and I was missing the days of Robin Williams in dramatic roles. Of course, Al...

Insomnia: It will make you fall asleep

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: I would say to avoid this movie altogether, but then you would miss Robin Williams playing a part you don't ever see him play, which makes it somewhat worthwhile.
Review: When I first saw ads for this movie, I was ecstatic. Two of my all time favorite male actors would finally be in a movie together. Usually I will wait for a movie to come out on video if it doesn't advertise mind-blowing special effects that do no...

Letdown

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: We were bored and disappointed with it. Robin Williams didn't play as big of a role as we would have liked. Basically, it wasn't what we expected.
Review: I, and the three other people I went with, were disappointed. We were expecting a serial psychotic killer, Misery or Silence of the Lambs, type movie. It was more of a drama with weird side-plots. We went because we wanted to see Robin Williams in a...

They'll sleep when they're dead

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you've seen the original, you may despise Nolan's remake. I haven't, and I didn't.
Review: There's a sequence about half way through "Insomnia", where rumpled L.A. cop Will Dormer chases a man he believes to be the murderer he's come to Alaska to find, across a log drive. It's a thrilling moment, especially when Dormer trips into the...

Insomnia: A Pretty Good Movie

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's worth the time. A good movie either in theatres or on video.
Review: Overall, I enjoyed this movie. I went into it expecting the traditional cat and mouse game of catching a serial killer. However, it was much more than that! This was a good point and a bad. I felt a little disappointed when I left that it wasn't the...

I'd Stay Up To Watch It

Date of Review:  Jun 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: Go right now and see this movie. It has a great plot and even better actors. It might make you think a little, but it will be worth your time.
Review: When I heard that the new movie from Chris Nolan was coming to my local theater I was immediately excited. Hold on to your hats, this movie takes you through an amazing ride involving murder case is Alaska. Al Pacino is an infamous detective who...

I came, I saw, I slept

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: With a predictable plot and monotonous pacing, I would recommend a Vivarin for anyone planning to see Insomnia in the theater. Most of us had no trouble falling to sleep.
Review: Because of an enduring admiration of Al Pacino and Robin Williams, I am loathe to write off this piece entirely. Insomnia, however, was a disappointment. To begin with, the plot didn't seem to have enough meat to sustain the length of the film. The...

Real Thriller

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: Absoultely worth the ticket price, real suspense til the end!
Review: This movie had the ability to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat throughout. Al Pacino, and Robin Williams both give excellent performances. The photography and scenery alone make the movie worth the price of the ticket.

Pacino...
