An interesting psychological chase movie, but lacked engagement with the audience. You just get to watch as a passive observer to something that doesn't make sense, and then are expected to just get it, well...I don't. Benico Del Toro goes crazy and needs his mentor to kill him, and his mentor needs to know what it feels like to kill, since he hasn't before. If you want to watch a better, more engaging, and deeper version of this film watch Christopher Nolan's Insomnia, which also has better acting and plot. The only insight is into the connection between theory and practice in the mind of people who kill, one may know how to kill, but actually doing it can leave one in psychological hell. Evil can permeate both thought and deed.
