Vincent is a well-respected cop, as well as a devoted husband and father. But below the surface of his idyllic life, Vincent is involved with a very dangerous group of gangsters and drug dealers. When Vincent and his partner are caught stealing a massive quantity of cocaine from a powerful drug lord, the darker side of Vincent's life threatens to destroy his family and career. In a race against the clock, Vincent must return the drugs in order to save his son's life. This proves to be easier said than done, as the world around him seems to conspire to keep Vincent from doing what is necessary to protect his son.
-- (C) Tribeca Film •. '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. I usually avoid this sort of film, they generally star Jason Statham or, if the budget is restrained, Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal.
Purely because this is French I figured it might be interesting and to a certain degree it is. A bad American thriller is sadly just a bad thriller but with it's French equivalent you at least get a sense that the director has some degree of passion for films. Take this movie's best scene, a brilliantly realistic fight between two middle-aged cops in a nightclub kitchen. These aren't martial artists so it's a delightfully messy brawl, every kitchen implement, even press doors, utilised as makeshift weapons. Jardin is obviously a fellow John Carpenter fan, you can't tell me this isn't a homage to the great alley brawl between Roddy Piper and Keith David in 'They Live'. The nightclub setting is a neat idea but it could have been used to greater effect. There's an opportunity here to indulge in some interesting sound editing which isn't taken.
The only time we hear music is when the action moves to the club's dancefloor. Bizarrely every other location in the club is completely silent. Being a part-time DJ myself, something I've always been curious to see is a movie whose soundtrack isn't scored but rather mixed by a DJ.
If ever there was an opportunity to explore this idea it's this movie. I really feel the film-makers have missed a trick here, not just creatively but it wouldn't hurt the movie's marketing if it had a soundtrack album by a top DJ. Jardin is great as the uber-stressed cop who keeps digging himself deeper into trouble. You'd never get a lead actor with his non conventional looks in an American thriller, even in France it's quite daring to cast an Arab as your leading man. The casting overall is pretty good, lot's of the sort of great wrinkled faces you only seem to get in French movies. The one letdown is Brochere who just looks ridiculously young and pretty to be an undercover detective.
It was really no more than a time passer for this reviewer but if you're the sort of person who watches every Seagal straight to DVD flick, you'd be better served watching something like this. Marciano: Is that all?
Vincent: The rest is in a safe place. Remember what happened to action movies after Die Hard came out? A lot of action films were made that basically amounted to things like 'It's Die Hard on a boat' or 'It's Die Hard on a train' to varied levels of success, but one thing was for sure, Die Hard changed how a lot of people and studios wanted to make action films. That has somewhat subsided in favor of other types of action cinema, ranging from the slow-mo escapades of John Woo-like films to the bombastic extravaganzas of Michael Bay features, or the shakiness inspired by Paul Greengrass's work on the Bourne series. Sleepless Night is a French thriller that feels like a call back to the Die Hard days, placing an ordinary man in incredibly tense, violent, and stressful situations within a nightclub. It is well made from an impressively complex level rather than a stylish one and features action bits that feel very natural. Some minor plot flaws aside, the film is solid.

‘SLEEPLESS’ is an indie film first shown in QCinema Filmfest 2015, with Dominic Roco winning the best actor award over formidable competitors like Sid Lucero in “Apocalypse Child” and Junjun Quintana in “Water Lemon”. Last week, it was finally given a wider release in SM Cinemas through Cine Lokal and we’re glad that it did quite well at the box office, so more theaters were added during its one-week run. When we watched it at SM North Edsa, the theater was about half full, which, for an indie film without much commercial value, is already good in that venue. Glaiza de Castro is Gem, a call center agent who can speak with a fake American and British accent. She lives alone in her condo unit and has trouble sleeping, among other things, because of her ruined body clock.
Dominic is Barry, a new agent who is assigned to Gem for training. They quickly find a meaningful relationship in becoming good friends with each other. Since both of them have trouble sleeping, they spend hours through the wee hours of the morning, exchanging all sorts of stories ranging from their work and personal lives to what will you do when zombies attack in a zombie apocalypse.
They’re both lonely and lead messed up lives. Gem is the mistress of a married man (TJ Trinidad) who’s obviously just after sex and she also has a strained relationship with her mom (Irma Adlawan) who has remarried and has a new daughter. Barry, in turn, is estranged from his former girlfriend who has moved to Canada with their son. Barry misses the boy so much and his dream is to follow them to Canada. A lot of times, they’re just shown talking to each other while eating instant noodles, playing games and concocting wild stories about the people they see around them, but they never complain about their jobs that keep them awake at night.
Maybe a lot of today’s millennials who live in isolation, make a lot of mistakes and lead similarly fucked up lives will be able to relate well and identify with them. But it being so leisurely paced, creating a slow burn, most regular viewers just looking for escapism, and who don’t like their movies chatty, will easily get bored and find “Sleepless” actually sleep-inducing. Suckers for Star Cinema romance will also be alienated as it’s not your usual romcom with the traditional happy ending as the would be lovers don’t really fall in love and end up in each other’s arms, since this is actually more of a love story between caring friends and not FUBU friends with benefits. The film certainly has it merits, foremost of which is the relaxed and credible performances of both the lead stars. Ynab 4 Activation Keygens Maj. Glaiza has many quiet moments where she is shown just staring to the “kawalan”, her face looking blank but still very lovely.
She deserves to be given bigger, more demanding roles in bigger, better projects. Then there’s the fairly good cinematography that presents a lot of good shots of the the city, especially at night. The characters are just examples of today’s highly urbanized people who rush to and fro in the metropolis, each one with his own story to tell and the world just goes on spinning with or without them. New songs made by little known writers and singers are heard throughout the movie and millennial viewers with a taste for alternative music will surely be able to relate with them. There are also some scenes that make use of animation that might symbolize the monotony and boredom felt by the characters, but instead of helping move the story forward, we find them quite unnecessary and distracting.
It’s good that Director Prime Cruz and writer-partner Jenny Chuaunsu eventually saw the light and abandoned the idea. Let’s now see how their indie sensibilities will fare in their first mainstream assignment, Star Cinema’s “Can We Still Be Friends?” Going back to “Sleepless”, in the end, Gem makes a choice and finds closure in her own muddled relationship with her married lover. She then also does a good and very unselfish turn for Barry that gives him the chance to fly to Canada and meet his son. Their final farewell scene at the airport is quite touching. And yes, at long last, Gem finds peace within herself and falls asleep.
