This director has an unerring knack for arresting imagery and disorienting narrative.

Top Critic The film is creepy, and not because of any one particular scene or moment, but because Nolan takes us, body and soul, into a place that all is illuminated all the time

Ultimately, Nolans film asks the question: Do the ends justify the means? Dormer is willing to go to cover up the truth to bring about a result that is good for the world.

Never reaches its full potential, but still manages to be better than the average, run-of-the-mill crime thriller.

Inteligente suspense que conta com ótimos diálogos e atuações deslumbrantes de Pacino e Williams. As cenas em que estes contracenam são geniais – e a fotografia e as locações são belíssimas.

Top Critic A classic example of a director bringing his own vision to the mainstream.
03/05/03
Pacino gives one of the best performances I've seen him in; his sense of sleeplessness is infectuous, weighing down the entire proceeding with a kind of relentless fatigue.

It grabs us with the premise and holds our attention and doesn't let go.
01/21/03
It's not quite as ambiguous as the original, but it's not a sell-out either. Good movie.
