Christopher Nolan’s underrated Al Pacino thriller is on BBC Two this weekend | Films | Entertainment
Now his underrated third film from way back in 2002 is on TV this weekend after being unavailable to watch for a long period of time. The film in question is Insomnia, the only movie Nolan directed that he is not credited with writing.
A remake of a 1997 Norwegian film, Insomnia is a neo-noir psychological thriller starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank. The plot follows an LAPD detective sent to a remote Alaskan town to investigate a teenage girl’s murder. That’s before his sleep deprivation, caused by (you guessed it) insomnia, causes him to accidentally shoot his partner, leading to being blackmailed by the killer.
