Not as flashy or celebrated but it's gritty as hell. Straight-up psychological thriller with none of Nolan's usual gimmicks. It’s about guilt, obsession, and desperation in the most grounded way possible. It doesn’t need time bending or world-saving stakes, it just has a broken man losing his mind in the middle of nowhere..
Pacino is great, Robin Williams is surprisingly eerie, but the whole thing drags at times. It’s atmospheric as hell but doesn’t hit as hard as it should, tension is there but it never fucking peaks. Pacino and Williams were cooking, but Nolan played it way too safe

This film gave us the best immersive quality to explore the humanness, the complexity, the unsure…
