"Crime and Punishment'' comes to mind, with its theme of a man who believes he stands outside the rules that apply to other people.
#Insomnia film light and dark 1997 movie
The movie is not a thriller or an action picture, but a psychological study. She looks him in the face, and he doesn't like that.

Some of her questions do not get good answers. She senses there is something off about Jonas, after the death of the other cop: a certain wariness, a way of changing the subject. He is able to distract the other cops with routine and exhortation, but Ane doesn't just look, she sees. He takes her for a drive and slips his hand between her legs will this be another intimate conversation with a witness? His key adversary is a fellow police officer, Ane ( Maria Bonnevie). And to the woman's best friend Froya, whom he is attracted to. His queries take him to a writer named Holt, very full of himself, who had a relationship with the dead woman. Jonas is leading the investigation while at the same time struggling with the guilty knowledge of his cover-up. So now we have a police procedural turned in upon itself. Working under the protective blanket of fog, he fakes evidence to make it look as if the other policeman were shot by the escaping killer. Jonas is played by Stellan Skarsgard, the tall, thoughtful Scandinavian who first drew attention as the oil-rig worker in "Breaking the Waves'' and the math professor in "Good Will Hunting.'' Here he looks thinner, haunted, unsure of himself. Then he discovers he has killed his own colleague. Chasing him in a thick, morning fog, Jonas sees a figure raise a gun, and shoots. But there is a way out of the shed that the police do not know about, and the killer flees.

And so the killer does-falling into Jonas' ambush.
