Insomnia is a 2002 remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name.
Sent from the city to investigate the murder of a teenage girl in a small Alaskan town, a police detective accidentally shoots his own partner while trying to apprehend a suspect.
Instead of admitting his guilt, the detective is given an unexpected alibi, but this "solution" only multiplies the emotional complexity and guilt over his partner's death.
He's also still got a murder to solve, in addition to the blackmail and framing of an innocent bystander being orchestrated by the man they were chasing.
Tagline: Days never end. Nightmares are real. No one is innocent.
