‘Insomnia’ (2002)

Release Date: May 24, 2002

Al Pacino and Robin Williams headline a great ensemble, and give truly underrated performances, in Nolan’s first (and only) remake. Unable to sleep in an Alaskan town where the sun never sets, Pacino’s detective struggles to find a killer who may or may not have proof that Pacino killed a fellow cop. This slow-burn thriller is equal parts procedural and morality play; it’s one of Nolan’s least talked about films, and, also, one of his best.
