Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: There's no mistaking Jardin's playful mastery of the Hollywood-style action aesthetic; his movie starts in high gear and accelerates steadily from there.
Fresh: Full-tilt French crime film weaves multiple threads of cat-and-mouse through the labyrinthine innards of a big nightclub.
Fresh: Jardin ... brings a restless intelligence and disciplined glee to Sleepless Night that far surpasses its cinematic influences.
Fresh: It's fast, lean, satisfying, and forgettable; nothing special, really, until you realize that the movies have largely lost the knack for brisk mayhem like this.
Customer Reviews
Sleepless nights
I was suckered by the rotten tomatoes score of 96%. This movie was terrible. The action was stonily dull consisting of the hero endlessly being chased through dancing crowds by the bad guys. It was repetitive and bland. It would be more productive to take your 99 cents and try to buy a big gulp drink in New York City then to spend it on this movie. Why were all the reviews so lavishly praising of this awful movie? Were the results staged? I am not a snobbish movie buff or a conspiracy person but the reviews were so out of step with the movie that I have to wonder.
French action packed!
Enjoyed it. Thriller, action packed to the very last moment!
Sweaty and real
Good action flick, smarter than American movies.
