This is why, I think, Insomnia is Nolan's weakest film:
1. It's a remake.
2. Nolan is only the director(not the screenwriter, not the producer).
3. The plot(IMO) is a bit 'too usual' for a nolan movie, who usually has a more complex story.
HOWEVER, I still like this film, I give it a 7.5/10. The cinematography is good, and the cast is also good.
Oh, and about the Tomatometer, I think the Tomatometer is not a reliable way to determine a film's quality, because, just look at this:
Toy Story 3 99% 8.8/10
Hoe to Train Your Dragon 98% 7.9/10
The Dark Knight 94% 8.4/10
Iron Man 94% 7.6/10
See, the percentage is sometimes misleading. It just shows you the percentage of critic who gives it a fresh rating, but not the film's quality.
