This film starts as a very intriguing police procedural. Then about half an hour in, something happens that spins the whole story around on a dime. The new direction was jarring and it was tough to even look at Detective Dormer (Al Pacino).
In time, the story develops, Robin Williams shows up as subdued psycho Walter Finch, and Det. Dormer becomes even more heinous. The final act is good as the 24-hour sunlight of Alaska takes a toll on Dormer. The ending isn't a surprise but it is satisfying. This film makes me want to see Alaska. Beautiful.
