Sleepless Night is a French action-thriller film that was released in 2011. Directed by Frédéric Jardin, the movie follows the story of a corrupt cop named Vincent (played by Tomer Sisley) who gets into trouble after stealing a bag of cocaine from a drug lord. The movie starts off with Vincent and his partner, Sean (played by Laurent Stocker), making a deal with some drug dealers. The deal goes wrong, and Vincent ends up stealing a bag of cocaine from the dealer's henchman. The henchman, however, is not willing to let go of the drugs and decides to go after Vincent in order to get them back.

What follows is an action-packed, tense-filled night as Vincent tries to outsmart the henchmen and their boss, all while trying to save his own skin. The majority of the movie takes place in a nightclub, where Vincent has gone to meet the drug lord in order to return the stolen bag of cocaine.

As Vincent tries to make his way through the nightclub unnoticed, the henchmen catch up to him and things quickly spiral out of control. Vincent's son is also in the nightclub, having gone there with his friends to celebrate his birthday. When the henchmen find out about this, they kidnap Vincent's son in order to force him to return the drugs.

From this point on, Vincent must navigate his way around the club while dealing with the henchmen, the drug lord, and trying to save his son. To further complicate matters, Vincent's partner Sean is still in the club and is trying to help him out.

The movie is very tense throughout, with the action never letting up. The fight scenes are well choreographed and feel realistic. The nightclub setting also adds to the tension as Vincent has to weave his way through the crowds without being detected.

The acting in the movie is also very good, with Tomer Sisley delivering a strong performance as Vincent. He portrays the character as a flawed man who is trying to do the right thing, but is constantly being dragged down by his own bad decisions.

Serge Riaboukine does a great job as the drug lord, making him both menacing and charismatic at the same time. Julien Boisselier is also good as Vincent's partner, Sean.

One of the things that sets Sleepless Night apart from other action movies is that it has a strong emotional core. Vincent's love for his son is what drives him throughout the movie, and this adds a layer of depth to the character that you don't often see in action films.

In conclusion, Sleepless Night is an excellent action-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The strong performances, well-choreographed fight scenes, and tense nightclub setting all contribute to making this a standout movie in its genre.

Sleepless Night is a 2012 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 38 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.6 and a MetaScore of 75.
