Neither does Will Dormer (AL PACINO), a veteran LAPD homicide detective sent north to Alaska to head a murder case.

A superbly crafted remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller, this moody police procedural is transplanted to a remote Alaskan town, where a veteran Los Angeles detective (Al Pacino) arrives to investigate the murder of a teenaged girl. Professional tragedy collides with psychological turmoil as the detective suffers from sleeplessness under the region's perpetual daylight, and a local rookie cop (Hilary Swank) begins to suspect that truths are being hidden as the disturbing case unfolds. While the Alaskan setting intensifies the atmospheric mystery, Pacino's bleary-eyed disorientation adds a rich layer to his character's erratic behavior, and the casting of Robin Williams as the killer was a risk that pays off nicely. In many respects better than the original, Insomnia is a Hollywood remake that's refreshingly free of compromise. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Boring.Insomnia starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams is pretty boring for a Christopher Nolan film, this is the second film after the brilliant psychological thriller Memento. Insomnia just drags and drags with every minute that passes, even with two famous actors you can't take this film seriously. Hilary Swank is pretty much under-used here, I hated everything about this film. Don't watch this train wreck! Rating: - A Sleepless GuiltChristopher Nolan, the acclaimed director of Following and Memento, delivers another gripping thriller in his remake of the Norwegian film Insomnia. Utilizing his adept understanding of the human psyche, he creates a film that is both haunting and suspenseful. Though it may not keep you lying awake at night, Insomnia will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. When Detective Will Dormer and his partner, Hap Eckhart are asked to leave behind their native city of Los Angeles to help ...

Al Pachino is great in the lead role but the scene stealer here is Robin Williams. When you see the film you'll know what I mean. I won't go into the plot all I'm saying is go see it Rating: - An acting gemThree very good character actors come together in a crime drama/ mystery in the long summer day of Alaska. A shooting during a chase results in a detective's death. The murder, then, saw the detective kill his partner and when the detective finds him, he blackmails the detective who has been finding it very hard to sleep. Get some sleep... it is a nightmare in Nightmute for the detectives! Rating: - Gripping thrillerInsomnia is a good thriller thats worth buying for many reasons: Its a top notch cast. Al Pacino gives one of his his finest late performances as the detective who can't sleep investigating a murder. Robin Williams matches Pacino in his second great role that year (see One Hour Photo for the other), and the always good Hilary Swank gives a very good performance supporting the two main leads. The director is Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige), who seems ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
