    The lines are very clear, a big-name show. Swank looked so young...

    In fact, the combination of Nolan and Lao Pa is still on the path of simple plot and God acting. See the short comment that Lao Pa’s acting skills, including performances in films such as Devil Spokesperson, are all along the roaring ruffian route, and Nolan’s film is included in imdb. I was also criticized as dull in a long review. Actually, I was still underestimated. Four moments in the film: the hesitation of manslaughter partner and the helplessness of strong sunshade. The complexity of...

    In fact, Nolan’s most neglected film is the best film he made in Hollywood, much better than his later blockbusters, second only to memory fragments. 4 and a half...

    After reading both editions of "Insomnia", I feel that this is really an incomparable Hitchcock story. Two strangers have to rely on each other to complete their own perfect murder. Isn't it "The Train Stranger"? The only regret is that the Nolan version removes the shot of touching the thigh in the car. Please, this is the essence of the whole film, okay? !...

    The mediocre work in Nolan’s works is not just because the script was not written by their brothers. Perhaps Nolan, who is good at cross-narratives, did not have the right appetite for this one-way narrative film. It can also be guessed that Nolan’s transition to a commercial film was released in the summer. Although not as good as independent works, it also laid the foundation for the later Dark Knight series. Pacino’s flashback and the reversal of the second half of the dialogue between him...

    A suspenseful drama film directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Al Pacino. Although it is Nolan's most neglected work, I feel that it is still good at skill. Pacino brings to life the old policeman who is entangled in insomnia and moral dilemma. This film explores topics such as human nature, justice standards, lies, etc. The editing and shots are good, but the ending is a bit clichéd....

    The setting of White Night is great. Nolan's protagonist is always easily tortured by shadows, past and memories. The scenes of Fog and Rolling Wood are very convincing, and the burden of hematopoietic stains is also very...

    It was rated as Nolan's worst work, but it was actually pragmatic, showing a beautiful finish. Exotic visual construction, suspenseful nesting design, fancy editing method, the most important thing is to be a solid character. The conflict between morality and desire gives the character a huge space for tension, which promotes Al Pacino's wonderful interpretation. No other works. The imaginary fire in the air is...

    Three and a half. The role played by Robin Williams did not appear until halfway through the film, but it was he who balanced the direction of Al Pacino and the whole film. And, if Lao Pa is a few years younger, he might be able to cooperate with Norlando a few years. Such a partner is actually quite...

    It’s the most “not Nolan” movie, maybe because it’s an adaptation, only the police station fan can see some signs...there is not much conflict between the story and the drama, in fact, I think the fear of extreme daylight can be renewed. Be more in-depth. When I watched it, I always wondered what Polanski would do. . . But it's not bad, Pacino is also great~ All Nolan's movies are finally finished~...
