Title: Insomnia could put you to sleep
Review: This is one of the biggest wastes of a slew of good actors I've ever seen. Hilary Swank: wasted; Christopher Nolan: wasted; the gifted Maura Tierney: about four lines altogether; Robin Williams: horribly miscast. He's about as scary as a kid in a halloween costume and looks b-a-d. There are so many holes in this plot you could drive tractor trailers through them. And there's an ongoing bit of nonsense about Pacino being unable to cut off the perpetual daylight leaking in around the edges of the flimsy window shade. As if a place like Alaska wouldn't have decent shades on the windows! Give this one a miss. It's incredibly dreary. Pacino has insomnia but I could barely stay awake, waiting for something to happen. It's all sizzle and no steak.
