“Insomnia” is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan, revolving around a veteran LAPD detective named Will Dormer, portrayed by Al Pacino. Dormer, along with his partner Hap Eckhart (played by Martin Donovan), is sent to a remote Alaskan town to investigate the murder of a local teenager.

Due to the unique geographical location, the sun never sets during the Alaskan summer, creating an environment of constant daylight. This unusual phenomenon begins to take a toll on Dormer’s psyche, leading to his struggle with insomnia. As the investigation progresses, Dormer accidentally shoots and kills his partner in a state of exhaustion and confusion, adding a layer of complexity to the case.

Detective Dormer becomes increasingly entangled in a cat-and-mouse game with the primary suspect, a writer named Walter Finch (played by Robin Williams). Finch uses his knowledge of Dormer’s accidental shooting to manipulate the detective and control the investigation, leading to a battle of wits between the two.

The film explores themes of guilt, morality, and the blurred lines between right and wrong, as Dormer grapples with his actions, both past and present. As the sun’s unending presence exacerbates his insomnia, Dormer’s mental and physical fatigue heightens the tension, blurring his judgment and testing his ethical boundaries.

“Insomnia” presents a gripping narrative interwoven with intricate character studies and an atmospheric setting that intensifies the psychological drama. The film’s exploration of the consequences of sleep deprivation on the human mind, coupled with the moral ambiguity of its characters, creates a riveting and suspenseful thriller.
