As a more conventional follow-up to his innovative thriller Memento, Christopher Nolan's Insomnia offers ample proof that his skills are genuine. A superbly crafted remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller, this moody police procedural is transplanted to a remote Alaskan town, where a veteran Los Angeles detective (Al Pacino) arrives to investigate the murder of a teenaged girl. Professional tragedy collides with psychological turmoil as the detective suffers from sleeplessness under the region's perpetual daylight, and a local rookie cop (Hilary Swank) begins to suspect that truths are being hidden as the disturbing case unfolds. While the Alaskan setting intensifies the atmospheric mystery, Pacino's bleary-eyed disorientation adds a rich layer to his character's erratic behavior, and the casting of Robin Williams as the killer was a risk that pays off nicely. In many respects better than the original, Insomnia is a Hollywood remake that's refreshingly free of compromise. --Jeff Shannon

about the movie/film Internal Affairs................2006-11-28

I bought this DVD from Singapore videoshops....hee hee and have watched them. The main issue of this movie is actually to catch whom is the killer in a cop department. Recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of movie/film.....

DId I see the same movie as these other reviewers?.......2006-09-30

After reading all of the other reviews of this film and all of the praise heaped on it, I have to wonder, are we all watching the same movie? "Internal Affairs" is a weird film with so many preposterous premises that it could almost be a dark comedy if it was not for all of the mental and physical cruelty going on. As ridiculous as the plot is, you can see the end, and about everything in between, coming at you a mile away.

Raymond Avilla (Andy Garcia) is an officer in the LAPD in the Internal Affairs Division. In one of his first assignments, Garcia and his partner Amy Wallace (Laurie Metcalf) are investigating officer Van Stretch (William Baldwin). Avilla also suspects Stretch's partner, Dennis Peck (Richard Gere), since he finds it hard to believe that Stretch's partner would be blind to his illegal activity. He also believes that Stretch does not have the intelligence or the independence to be pulling off all of the drug dealing on his own.

Peck is supporting several ex-wives, his current pregnant wife, and eight children - on a policeman's salary?. He's also sleeping with just about every woman that becomes his target of opportunity, including his own partner's wife. Metcalf's character is the only woman in this film not being sexually targeted and/or abused by Peck. However, this film attributes this more to her sexual orientation than to the possibility that she might actually have standards. Also, Peck is so involved in so many blatant dirty dealings that Frank Drebbin of Police Squad would have had to be chief of Internal Affairs to not notice what's been going on up to this point, especially given Peck's high rolling lifestyle and his harem. Peck is a politician extraordinaire, and his picture should be next to the phrase "quid pro quo" in the dictionary. This has kept him out of the line of fire of the other regular cops on the force. Whenever Peck calls in a favor, his cop friends don't seem to mind that the favors often involve felonies. Peck is also ultra-psychotic and murders his so-called best friend and partner, the unfortunate officer Stretch, to keep him from talking to internal affairs and exposing Peck's comfy criminal arrangements.

I have to wonder why such a good actor as Richard Gere would have taken on such a two-dimensional role as Dennis Peck. Peck seems to have taken on the profession of rogue cop more because he enjoys performing acts of violence, murder, and mayhem than the reason that he gives in the film - that he would do anything to support his kids. What does shooting Laurie Metcalf's character with a smile on his face have to do with supporting his kids? What does all of the mental cruelty that he generously portions out and treating every woman that he meets as a piece of meat got to do with supporting his kids?

Andy Garcia and Laurie Metcalf seemed rather wooden in their performances. In fact, it seems that only the villains in this film seem to come alive on screen. I get the feeling that all of the lead actors and actresses in this film just did not have proper direction during their performances on top of a script that does not make sense. This film has no brilliant twists, no lessons learned, and no complex characters. The only thing the viewer will get out of this movie is the need to take a long cleansing shower afterwards after having been exposed to the worst behavior humanity has to offer.

Intense and exciting ..........2006-08-19

This is a great movie with an outstanding cast! Richard Gere is a man you love to hate. Andy Garcia and Nancy Travis are incredible in this film and make you feel every emotion that they experience. I definitely recommend this edge of your seat, yell at your tv movie to everyone that loves the classics.

Amazing Cast-Good Movie.......2006-03-08

Internal Affairs brings to the screen the story of an I.A. agent's efforts at curbing corruption at a police precinct. What he encounters though, might be more than he bargained for...
Andy Garcia, Richard Gere, William Baldwin, and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (Richard Gere really steals the show as the villain!), allowing for a highly entertaining movie.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, and the music are all very good.
In short, though not a masterpiece it is definitely a movie worth watching, as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment.

Scream with a chaser.......2006-03-07

One of Richard Gere's best roles as a dirty cop with a dangerous charm who tangles with a determined, by-the-books investigator, Andy Garcia. The stakes are high as the arch-rivals dance to escape each other's cross-hairs. Drugs, self-destruction, and excess are the seedy backdrops to this edge-of-your-seat suspenseful offering. A thrilling ride til the end. The cop blue code mentality is well-drawn, as well as career gambles and human weaknesses that go with the turf. The most overlooked date-movie, offering generous doses of intrigue and suspense.
