Matteo D @Xmattew 4d Good thriller, not really what you would expect from nolan, some interesting ideas well explored, the action is ok but nothing special, definitely worth a watch See more Cinema S @cinema_sensei 5d It feels like Nolan stepping into David Fincher's territory - quiet, tense, and psychologically absorbing. The endless daylight perfectly mirrors the protagonist's guilt and exhaustion, making the atmosphere just as important as the mystery itself. A very strong remake.

See more Josh G @Parsifal83 Aug 1 Christopher Nolan transforms a straightforward crime thriller into a compelling meditation on guilt and moral compromise. The endless Alaskan daylight becomes a haunting visual expression of Pacino's guilty conscience, while Robin Williams delivers a memorably unsettling performance. Its understated ending quietly reinforces the film's central truth: no lie is worth surrendering a part of yourself. See more Will R @RT59412112 Jul 25 A solid thriller. Al Pacino and Robin Williams give solid performances and it does enough to keep you interested in the story. It’s not one I go back to much at all though even though it’s shot very well by Christopher Nolan. Just doesn’t do much for me. 6/10 See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Jul 21 A riveting detective thriller with so many great twists and turns that keep you guessing where the story's going to go. It felt very unpredictable and interesting to see the only movie that Christopher Nolan directed, but didn't write. Al Pacino and Hilary Swank are both great as two detective officers investigating a murder in Alaska. Pacino is great as the seasoned gruff detective that's seen it all and is one step ahead of everyone else, and Hilary Swank is very endearing as the youthful optimistic cop. The movie has so many great twists to the detective formula. The most glaring is how the constant daylight in Alaska gives Al Pacino's character the titular insomnia. Robin Williams creepily plays against type with his natural charm and charismatic making his grisly kidnappings and murders all the more unsettling, especially with his unusual blackmail partnership with Pacino. It's a great detective thriller that's tightly written. Easily Christopher Nolan's most underrated movie! See more Read all reviews
