Director : Christopher Nolan
Running Time : 119 mins
While investigating the death of a young girl in a small Alaskan town, police detective Will Dormer (Pacino) accidentally shoots dead his partner Hap Eckhart (Donovan) while in pursuit of a suspect. Rather than come forward, Dormer claims the suspect shot his partner, but when he is approached by the suspect, Walter Finch (Williams), who saw him shoot his partner, he is forced to cover for the killer or face murder charges.
This intriguing thriller manages to give us surprises without actually throwing them in our faces. The performances are pretty good and the plot is reasonably believable, and as the movie progresses the holw that Pacino has dug for himself makes the action increasingly tense. Well worth watching, even if the title is a little misleading and only refers to the months of daylight experienced by the small Alaskan town.
