With Al Pacino and Robin Williams doing their all-out performances, the film can't fail to ignite. And the backdrop is Alaska's sheer beauty! Hilary Swank also is doing her job. Pacino is a veteran detective who suffers from insomnia in Alaska's white nights, named DORMER, which of course is ironical as it comes from the French word DORMEUR, "sleeper". This is s remake of a Norwegian film I am told and I would like to watch it, too, but this very high level of achievement by Nolan is probably well beyond the original.
Alaska is haunting. All I dreamt back in Alabama was going to Alaska...
