Robin Williams can do more serious roles really well too. 
He's really good in Insomnia ...I need to watch that one again.
And another Robin Williams drama that I have... but slipped my mind.  :bag: :P
Just rewatch it yesterday and like the first time I find it boring and uninspired... For a Christopher Nolan movie this is really weak, even Al Pacino and Hilary Swank doesn't help. Compare to Following and Memento this is really a waste of time...

Of course maybe it's just me again :shrug:

It has been a while since I watched it too.  I think I remember it having a slower pace, but I thought that worked for the movie..to help build tension.

What tension Marie? This movie isn't slow moving at all, it doesn't move...

Seriously what tension???

Maybe one needs to watch Insomnia to fall asleep!  :laugh:

The Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong did a good job with this for me untill I sent it to Pete in exchange for Tromeo and Juliet :laugh:

Well, I really like Insomnia. Superb film. And the tension was in Pacino struggling with his conscience. I found the dynamic fascinating of not only giving control to Williams, but making him morally right, at least in the case of Pacino's partner.

I thought it moved...and I thought there was tension with what was going on.  It isn't action packed, but I still think it is good.  I liked it anyway.
