Two L.A. cops are sent on assignment to Nightmute, Alaska to investigate a murder case. But the unending daylight begins to wreaks havoc on Det. Will Dormer's mind and finds himself increasingly unstable. But before it gets worse he'll have to try and find a way to stop the murderer and try to keep himself from going down too.

This is a great film and just a terrific job by Christopher Nolan and all the cast. After a while you start to see things too and aren't sure what is going on. But a great follow up to Memento for Nolan and a big boost for Academy Award winners in the cast.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars
