Insomnia (2002, directed by Christopher Nolan)

- how many cabins does that author (Robin Williams) have?  He has an apartment in the city, but he also has two other cabins?  The one cabin at the beginning of the film by the beach where he killed the girl, and then another cabin at the end of the movie where he keeps his stuff?  I don't think he made a lot of money from sales of his books so I guess cabins are really cheap in Alaska.

- this movie has an underwater action sequence.  While chasing the suspect, the main character gets caught under some logs in the water.  He was under water for a couple of minutes, does a lot of physical activity trying to surface and yet still had enough air and energy to find his way out of the water and all this while wearing a suit jacket and tie and his shoes and being in near arctic cold water.

- earlier in the film the police talk about what sidearms they carry.  This includes their primary as well as their backup weapons.  But at the end of the movie during the shootout, neither of the police officers have a backup weapon.

- why did the hotel that the LA Police officers stay in have decent drapes?  I've only stayed in hotels in cities where the sun does not stay up for 24 hours but they still had pretty good drapes that blocked out the light in the morning when the sun did rise.  Why didn't that Alaska hotel have those drapes?  (Yes, I know the point of the movie is to not allow Al Pacino to sleep...)

This movie was pretty good.  I wouldn't mind paying for it as a rental DVD.
