Even in comedic roles, there was a transparent but very solid wall between Williams the audience. To me, Robin Williams’s screen presence always carried hints of narcissism and self-destruction. He’s a writer and, in a stroke of brilliance, he’s played by none other than Robin Williams. Who is the murderer? His name is Walter Finch. And now, he’s calling Dormer and cruelly taunting him. Add to that, the murderer knows that Dormer shot Eckhart.
Because of the midnight sun, the night never falls in Alaska and, tortured by guilt, Dormer cannot sleep. Working with a local detective (Hilary Swank), Dormer tries to solve the Alaska murder, with the knowledge that, once he does, he’ll have to return to Los Angeles and he’ll probably be indicted. He lies and says that the murderer shot Eckhart. Was it an accident or did Dormer intentionally shoot his partner? Not even Dormer seems to know for sure. When the fog clear, Dormer discovers that he’s killed Eckhart. While pursuing the suspected murderer through the Alaskan fog, Dormer fires his gun. He’s being investigated by Internal Affairs and, shortly after they arrive in Alaska, Eckhart admits that he’s been given immunity as part of a deal to testify against Dormer. He’s burned out and he’s plagued by rumours that, in the past, he was a crooked cop. Dormer has issues that go far beyond anything happening in Alaska.
