At the beginning of the film, the seaplane flying on the glaciers and between the mountains presents the audience with a breathtaking view of Alaska. Cars, ships in flight.

Accompanied by the low and elongated music with Nolan's characteristics, the audience's mood is unconsciously pulled up, and they will not have the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

Of course, a murder case that is familiar to the famous police detective from New York is the source of the audience's anxiety, especially the accidental occurrence makes the simple story more complicated: the police detective subconsciously chose to cover up his mistakes.

The story is not as brain-burning as Nolan's style, human nature is struggling but not complicated, and even the protagonist played by Al Pacino at the end (an abnormally aging police officer who is about to retire from the continuous insomnia caused by his own mistakes). Detective), to the small town policewoman who has always admired him but already suspected him, the last words she confided were so innocent and beautiful, even moved me to tears, making me feel that he should be a cunning and cunning man no matter what. identity of.

    "Good cops lose their sleep because their hearts stop, and bad cops lose their sleep because their consciences are uneasy." Nolan's personal style is the least obvious and underrated. Despite this, the overall completion and rhythm control are quite good. The two scenes of Pacino and Williams are evenly matched, and the psychological game is particularly exciting. The scene scheduling skills in the scenes of driftwood in the water, the wrong kill in the thick fog and the confrontation in the cabin should not be underestimated. Nolan's commercial directing ability when he first came to Hollywood It is enough to make many young directors feel ashamed.
