Review of Insomnia (2002) by Nickthecritick — 14 Nov 2021

Los Angeles department agent Dormer is called to a country in Alaska to investigate the death of a girl. A colleague accompanies him. He collaborates with the young local policewoman Ellie, who considers Dormer a true legend. Running after the killer in the fog, Dormer accidentally kills his colleague and is not in a position, due to a certain investigation launched by his department, to take that responsibility. He blames the killer, but he has seen it all and believes he has the policeman in his hand. The two would therefore be linked by complicity. They meet, they are forced to protect each other. But Dormer is too honest to handle the game, and then the cop begins to understand.

This movie is a solid thriller/crime story and there are some homages you can find here (such as Caroemter for example). This is One of my favourite Nolan movies and, of course, it isn't his worst one.
