A decent little crime mystery thriller but a major downgrade from Christopher Nolan sinse this is the movie he did right after the mind blowing masterpiece *Memento*. Quite the different kind of role for Robin Williams as the bad guy but he nailed it, his scenes with Al Pacino are so tense. Al Pacino is the real star though as the no bullshit detective going through PTSD-ish psychological turmoil, I found his character to be interesting from beginning to end.

The mystery is alright, not the best but it keeps this thing going in the first half. It turns into something else after that mystery and that's what's really interesting and what sets this movie apart from other crime thrillers. I still wanted it to go further into the psychological aspect with the main character, he had enough on his plate to go crazy but it never fully gets there unfortunately. A few thrilling chase sequences like the fog and floating logs one but I wanted a little more because it got slow in some parts. Nice filming location. Nothing too special on a cinematography level.
