I had no difficulty staying awake through Insomnia; indeed, it was mesmerizing. Directed by the director of Memento, Pacino is the best I've seen him in years. Pacino performed without his usual histrionics, which I felt got in the way of his performances recently, eg, Heat. Williams is also magnificent (with ocassional exception, I didn't think much of him on film until now). The setting and the non stop daylight are perfect. However, we would have nothing without the screen play and it is (place appropriate superlative). The treatment of this morality issue is what I, personally, like the most in cinema.As you can tell, I didn't much like this film...NOT! As Joe Bob Briggs would say: you gotta see it. FWIW, Jim.
