Insomnia

Saruman

Saw this last night... not bad... Al Pacino is getting very old and tired.. though in fairness he was playing an insomniac so probably supposed to... Robin Williams also starred but only appeared about half way through... and the lovely as always Hilary Swank was in it.

The movie itself.. I wont give anything away but I thought it was very good myself.. a little slow as this type of thriller usually is.. here is a tip... don't watch it if you are tired in any way!!

I do recommend it though!

I'm definitely going to see this film, the scandinavian original was brilliant. Robin Williams is definitely going for a different role.

saw it tonight. Im surprised there hasnt been more hype about this film. I thought it was brilliant.

A nice thick plot which leaves u kinda wondering what was gonna happen, tho imo the ending was kinda obvious.

Is it out in the cinema or did you download it or something like that?

BKtje

i think they musta downloaded it seeing as they saw it a month ago. I saw it today in the cinema. Was packed.

Well worth seeing. It gets the BK thumbs up. Now thats an award every film wants.

*lol*
loved the movie...id give it 9/10. It is a little bit long. Robin williams was excellent, and very convincing. I havent seen many al pacino movies so (when u say old and tired i presume u mean acting wise) i thought he was great, although the people i was with said it wasnt much of a ahcnge for him.

but did anyone think, and im so glad it didnt happen

that when robin williams was in the water at the very end he was going to be still alive and go for hilary swank again? or have i watched scream too many times????!!!!

Mr E

Yeah, I did think that would happen (I was waiting for it!).
Glad it didn't, though.... (Too 'hollywood'!)

I loved the movie. Well acted, good story, nice bit of cat'n'mouse between Pacino and Williams (especially with the gun).

Definitely recommended.....

I saw it last weekend, enjoyed seeing Robin Williams playing something other than a funny-man. He was very good in a serious role in Good Will Hunting also.

8 thumbs up. Well worth a watch. Al Pacino is the man.

i quite enjoyed it... beautiful scenes throughout and some great direction and little touchs (a refreshing change from the last film i seen in the cinema finchers panic room).. could have done without the last two sentences (they really didnt have to make it that obvious).. 8/10.. but nowhere near as good as Memento (Christopher Nolans last, and major debut, film)

xlnt film i thought
but could it ever live up to memento
as far as second and major money films went it was pretty good

al pacino really did look old and tired @ the end

Excellent film. I thought it was beautifully shot and I thought the Al's insomnia was a great touch. Brill acting and great to see robin williams in a totally different role.

I liked this film but I wouldn't call it excellent. It's certainly a cut or two above the rest of the ****e released this year.

I see on online.ie, it's listed as 18s, but at the cinema it was down as 15PG. I've seen this happen a lot lately. Bad information or the cinemas deliberatly trying to widen the audience?

BKtje

The film didn't feel like an 18's.

I saw it in entertainment.ie as 18's as well. In the newspapers it was 15pg.

SweetBirdOfTruth

thought it tired and formulaic. the us additions over the norwegian original reduce the story.

Gotta go see
