Every Christopher Nolan film ranked from worst to best
Insomnia (2002)
A remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller of the same name, Insomnia is the only film in Nolan’s catalogue he didn’t have a hand in writing. He still makes his mark throughout, capturing the bleakness and chilliness of the wild Alaskan landscape so effectively you’re soon reaching for your scarf and gloves. He also draws top-notch performances out of Al Pacino and Robin Williams, the former a sleep-deprived detective consumed by guilt over an accidental death and its subsequent cover-up, and the latter playing against the wisecracking type as a scheming killer. It’s a refreshingly straightforward yet still compelling watch which, as argued by the man himself, stands up as Nolan’s most underrated work. (Stream on iPlayer or Prime Video).
