INSOMNIA 1997

5/10

INSOMNIA 2002 is an entertaining thriller overall, but it doesn't work as a remake. Script writer Hillary Seitz made the protagonist less unlikeable but, by doing so, she sacrificed the ambiguity.

Best bad movie

Does that count as a 'franchise'? Considering there are no sequel/spin off opportunity I think it's really just a film with a remake.

There are aspects I liked better about the remake actually, and I think it's just a different sort of ambiguity. Not so much with regard to whether he intended to shoot his partner or not, but more about what the motivating factors were after that.. Even though I think that original ambiguity more or less remains.

I prefer the cinematography in the remake as well, but I think the performances are generally stronger in the original.
