Notes: Detectives Will Dormer (Al Pacino) and Hap Eckhart (Martin Donovan) are sent to Alaska to investigate the murder of a teen girl. The time of year is such that the sun doesn’t set, and during the investigation, Dormer accidentally shoots and kills Donovan. Dormer is suffering from guilt, not to mention insomnia, and is now being investigated by a local detective, Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank), as well as being taunted over the phone. Walter Finch (Robin Williams), a local man, provides clues.

As producer Steven Soderbergh says in an interview (below), the movie – which is remake of a 1997 film – transforms from a whodunnit to a “how and whydunnit.” (Paul Junger Witt and George Clooney, amongst others, are also producers and executive producers.)
