About this product

Product Information

In a remote Alaskan town called Nightmute, the murder of a teenage girl has shocked the tight-knit community. The Los Angeles Police Department sends two of its cops--both under investigation by Internal Affairs--to try to solve the crime in Christopher Nolan's film based on Erik Skjoldbjćrg's 1997 Norwegian film starring Stellan Skarsgĺrd. The experienced, weathered Will Dormer (Al Pacino) has nothing in life except for the force. His younger partner, Hap (Martin Donovan), has a family to support and is willing to turn state's evidence to protect them. Local cop Ellie Burr is excited to work with her hero, Dormer--until she starts uncovering some questionable situations. It isn't long before Dormer finds the murderer--writer Walter Finch, played with subtle nuances by Robin Williams--but Finch knows a secret that could bring Dormer down. Director Nolan, who stunned audiences with 2001's inventive MEMENTO, here crafts an atmospheric psychological thriller that is bathed in whites and grays. The acting is uniformly excellent, especially Pacino's performance as a cop on the edge and Williams as a soft-spoken, low-rent crime novelist. Because it never gets dark in Alaska at this time of year, Dormer (a play off the Spanish word "dormir," which means "to sleep") is unable to fall asleep, light always streaming into his hotel room; watching him slowly unravel is a treat.

  • Great Film!

    Tough to learn how a cop lives. I acknowledge how skillful Al is. Robin's role is very interesting. Hilary addition to the team was a smart move. In the world of making movies, she is a minor. However, her amazing participation in "Million Dollar Baby" demonstrates her strengths.

  • Insomnia

    It is a very good movie. Suspenseful, funny in the right spots, quirky. Of course, Al Pacino is good as a detective and Robin Williams makes a good creepy guy. I wish they would have had an outtakes section.

  • Major disappointment.

    The premise was good, Pacino was lousy. He just mumbled his way through the movie. Don't know how it ended as I did not make it all the way through.
