Furthermore, for the first time, Williams, with Romanek, provides a commentary track for one of his movies -- and he's subdued, non-comic throughout the interesting, low-key track.

Sure, “Twilight Zone” used to do things like this all the time – but the average budget of a “Twilight Zone” episode was in the neighborhood of $1.95. Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan may have made the first star-powered, big-budget science-fiction/horror film to wage no-tech warfare in a confined space.

The story revolves around Jack Ryan (Ben Affleck, stepping into the shoes originally worn by Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford), a lowly CIA analyst assigned to the Russian desk who finds himself brought into the inner circle by CIA director William Cabot (Morgan Freeman) due to Ryan's research on new Russian president Nemerov (Ciaran Hinds). When a group of multi-national fascists use an Israeli nuke left over from 1973 to try to manipulate the United States and Russia into going to war against each other, it's up to Ryan to get the right information to the right people ...

Adapted from a 1998 Norwegian thriller (which is in turn adapted from a novel), "Insomnia" puts a famed big-city homicide detective in the middle of nowhere on a murder case, where old questionable judgment, new tragedy and complications threaten to destroy him in the course of doing his job. Adding to the detective’s woes is the fact that he suffers from insomnia, which is considerably worsened by his new environment – a corner of the world so near the Arctic Circle that at this time of year, there is sunlight 24 hours a day.

The difference her is that, while the script by John Brancato and Michael Ferris is extremely clever, keeping us speculating until the last few minutes, 'The Game' does not make you want to watch it all over again to see how they did it.
