Review of Insomnia

Insomnia (2002)
7/10
Great overall - Lacks convincing the impact and relevance of the insomnia
22 November 2020
Really compelling story, with multiple plots closing in on each other as the movie progresses. It has a overarching theme and message perfectly fitting the characters, making them believable and likeable despite their flaws. The acting is convincing, the dialogue however is less so.

The main issue is certainly the pacing, as it feels very drawn out, especially expressing the issue central to the movie - insomnia. However, the doubt that was attempted to be caused as a result of it did not come across well and was not at all convincing. This could have made a significant impact on how the movie and what the protagonist sees would have been interpreted. Unfortunately, this aspect fell completely flat and thus the issue of insomnia felt very much unneeded.
