Insomnia was an EXCELLENT film. Other people have called it "boring", but the slow pace and monochromatic setting just supported the not quite awake/not quite asleep feeling of the whole movie. Not quite dreaming and not quite aware. Not quite a "good cop" and not quite a "bad" one. Not quite guilty and not quite innocent. Compromises that you can live with and compromises that you can't.
A previous commenter said that the short clips were a poor excuse to make it look "edgy". In actuality it gives the viewer the feeling that he has not slept for days, either--when you are extremely tired you see things in snippets between yanking our eyelids open.
