First of all let me be the first to welcome you to the board, I look forward to your input. Remember what count's the most here is quality over quanity.

I saw the movie and enjoyed it very much, as I expected Al Pacino did a fabulous job and Robin Williams did a great job as the villian. I'm use to seeing him in comedy he showed some true talent.

Many thanks for the welcome!

Don't worry, I'm not the sort to post for the sake of it.

I haven't seen Insomnia yet, but read an excellent review in DVD Review Magazine (a UK publication).

I'm always interested in De Niro & Pacino movies.

Insomnia is definately worth a look. Al is great, as usual. Williams surprised me and held his own against Pacino. It has a strong story and some breath-taking shots of the Alaskan landscape. Great moral drama, the kind I love.

I saw it as well and like the others I really enjoyed it. Pacino excellent as usual and Robin Williams did surprisingly well!! I still prefer "Sea Of Love", but a good movie just the same.

TIS[/b][/quote]Stallone plays a cop who comes undone after witnessing a brutal scene on the job. He checks into a rehab clinic that specializes in treating law enforcement officials. Soon, he finds that his fellow patients are being murdered one by one.


I don't remember it coming out in the theaters, I rented it this past weekend. I thought it was a good movie with plenty of action a few scene's have you on the edge of your seat. I felt he made better movies but it is still worth the time to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and watch.

I thought "Insomnia" was pretty decent. Robin Williams makes a convincing villain.

I saw "Insomnia"..... it put me to sleep (said in my best Stephen Wright voice).

I agree with you, Turnbull. Robin Williams can actually pull something like that.
