Goog thriller
Good movie, good actors, good story. I liked it pretty much. It’s a thriller and deals with deaths and murders. It’s a little intense and a little violent, (in language too). The sexuality indicator is not correct; there are not references that justify that indicator, just a naked dead body in a glimpse. I recommend the movie.

maybe not MEANT for kids, but nothing bad
Insomnia made me almost fall asleep, but that's a good thing in this case. Al Pacino is such a great actor that when you watch the movie, you know exactly how he feels--tired but determined. The violence wasn't too bloody, just some shooting and the naked dead body was only a glimpse. The language was rough, but it's nothing you can't handle if you've seen worse movies. I don't understand why this got a "not for kids" rating. Those are reserved for gory or sexual movies only. Whoever gave this a "not for kids" rating apparently was too lazy to think about saying "iffy for 15" or whatever, (or maybe they just didn't get enough sleep! haha) and it's obviously not meant for kids, so they just labeled it "not for kids" instead of giving it a legit rating. Don't let the rating scare you, because it's misleading. I personally think anyone 14, maybe even 13 and older can handle this.

good movie
This movie is obviously not aimed at kids. not because it is a violent or sexual movie, but because it is fairly slow paced and has a complex plot which deals with issues that children would be unable to understand. The sexuality indicator is not correct, with the exception of a brief view of a naked corpse there is nothing in this area that you need worry about.
