Insomnia
2002
****
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hilary Swank, Martin Donovan, Maura Tierney
Christopher Nolan follows the brilliantly original Memento with a solid remake of a Norwegian film from 1997. Al Pacino gives one of his best performances in years as an insomniac cop who flies from Los Angeles to Alaska to investigate a murder, with a skeleton of his own in the closet. An atypical psychological thriller with a disappointingly typical ending.
