        One of Robin William's best roles, he brings such a presence to his character. Christopher Nolan gives us some fantastic and beautiful views, it seems as though he settles for other just okay shots though. My favorite thing about this movie is the score, such an emotional tone that really contributes to the success of the story telling.

        Christopher Nolan's 2002 film "Insomnia" is a remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. It generally has the same plot as the original, but Nolan improves the original by adding a little twist here and there to great effect. Nolan also adds more depth to the story that really makes this a unique remake and a quintessentially Christopher Nolan film. Al Pacino and Robin Williams give absolutely wonderful performances.

        A very different film from Christopher Nolan than we're use to, however a very awesome film at that. Insomnia brings in great performances especially that of Al Pacino and the late Robin Williams. Perfect choice of location which highlights how Al Pacino's character is feeling and the overall tone of the film. I was riveted by beginning to end and I would highly recommend to check out Insomnia, as it is a very well made film. Two Thumbs up!
