Nolan, what are you doing?

I have always been a big fan of Nolan, "Memento", "Deadly Magic" and even "Batman Prequel". Which of Nolan's few works doesn't make me climax and want to die? So I was willing to spend almost a week on eMule downloading "Insomnia" - for Nolan and for my idol Al Pacino.

I finally finished downloading it yesterday, and I watched it together with my girlfriend. My girlfriend was influenced by me, and she was also a fan of Nolan. Before watching "Insomnia", she was gearing up: "Watching Nolan's film, you have to remember every detail!"

It turned out that his girlfriend was overthinking it. "Insomnia"...how should I put it, the dramatic tension is there, but if it's about insomnia, it's not as good as "Sleepless in the Supermarket"; if it's about the confrontation between two heroes, it's not as good as "Pirates of Fire" or even "Dark War" ; If you talk about inner suffering, it can't compare to "The Mechanic"; if you talk about reasoning, even "Human Bone Puzzle" is more exciting than it.

After reading it, I couldn't help but want to ask: "Nolan, what are you doing?"

    This is probably the least Nolan one of the Nolan movies.

    pretty ugly. Although I am very subjective and want to say that this story is really bad to shoot, but I really find it boring. Al's performance is almost the same as ten years ago, but it's so single and exaggerated here. Insomnia is so weak, and the female police officer is so weak and unattractive, not as good as Stalin. Although I still buy Robin's face, this crazy writer is also super boring. And at the end, I'm going to laugh.
