"Sleepless Night" starts with Vincent(Tomer Sisley) and Manuel(Laurent Stocker) robbing an illegal drug shipment. Since one of the victims brought a knife to a gun fight, things do not go perfectly as Vincent is stabbed and there is one dead. That is now one crime that Vincent and Manuel have to investigate in their day job as police detectives. Oh, and Jose Marciano(Serge Riaboukine) would very much like his drugs back, if it is not too much trouble, as he has Vincent's son Thomas(Samy Seghir). The exchange would have gone well if Vignali(Lizzie Brochere), an internal affairs detective, had not been trailing him and moved the drugs from its hiding spot. She reports all of this to Lacombe(Julien Boisselier), her supervisor, who is in cahoots with Manuel. "Sleepless Night" proves that all you need for a well-crafted lean and mean crime thriller is some drugs, guns and one cool location, plus maybe a sense of humor. Of course, you have to keep the plates spinning non-stop which this movie does with a great deal of skill. Plus, it helps that all the depserate characters each have their specific motivations. However, there is a twist half way through the movie that takes some of the edge off but nobody's perfect. And by the end, I realized that for a movie involving a kidnapped child, this movie is surprisingly not mawkish in also being about a father's love for his son.

Vincent (Tomer Sisley) is involved in a dangerous situation. His job as a police officer is relatively comfortable. On the other hand, he goes out on an assignment with his partner where a substantial amount of drugs stolen from the mob has Vincent and his partner in alot of trouble with them. To turn up the heat on Vincent's comfort zone, a member of his family is abducted by the mob. The give him a very short time frame to return what belongs to them or his family member may become a part of his past. Fighting against time and one of his superiors suspecting him to be double dealing as a dirty cop on his tail. Vincent has got to turn all of this around before he loses everything. Will he succeed??? Warning: the action in this film turns up from luke warm to whit hot in a very short amount of time !!! GET THIS MOVIE!!!!

This film reminds me of another french flick called Point Blank, a film that I absolutely raved about here, in that its pacing is off the charts. Once the film gets going, it really doesn't stop. It's a frenetic film, that's for sure. The plot is simple and easy to follow and the action is in your face. The film benefits from a committed performance by Tomer Sisley who does a great job at getting over the desperation to save his son and also selling the absolute exhaustion after everything he's gone through. Sometimes the film can have a jarring effect and perhaps it was intentional but in some ways it was sometimes hard to get back into the film because of it. Still the film is exciting and thrilling to watch. This is a fun action thriller, easy to digest, but still fun.
