The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It is a film that treats the viewer as if he did not think. It leaves everything too clear. He has to explain it to you in case you're going to miss it.The action scenes are very badly shot. In general it is very badly shot, the camera makes you dizzy all the time, but when it comes to action, you almost have to wait at the end to see what happened.The casting, for my taste is very badly done. I do not believe almost any character. The bad ones, they are not bad, they do not give fear, rather disgust, it seems that they have not showered even when they are rich.I had not seen anyone lose so much blood and still stand winning fights.The interior photography may be fine, but by day outside, it is very ugly.The address, I do not know if I saw something when I looked in the combo, but we do not see anything. It has a rhythm, yes, it does not bore, but it does not allow for more.If I know, I do not see it

Two masked cops go after some drug dealers and steal their drugs. One of them, Vincent, is injured in the ensuing fight. He's also identified by one of the criminals and witnesses. As a result, the big bad drug lord, Jose, kidnaps Vincent's son to get his drugs back. Now Vincent forcefully explains to his partner Manuel, that he needs the drugs while Manuel wants his cut and needs the money. Later Manuel meets with a crooked internal affairs cop.Vincent retrieves the drugs and goes to Jose's lair, a giant dance club/restaurant/bar/private club for perverts and more. But he was followed by a female IA. She sees him go in the men's restroom with a bag but exit without the bag. So she goes in the men's restroom and finds the bag in the ceiling. She takes it and hides it in the women's restroom ceiling.Vincent with just one little packet of drugs meets Jose and demands to see his son. After Jose checks the drugs and Vincent sees his son he offers to return in a few minutes with the rest of the drugs, which of course aren't there anymore. So he devises a plan and goes to the kitchen and gets the staff to fill packets with flour and put them in a bag. But by now another foreign gang has arrived demanding the drugs from Jose. The ruse works and Vincent gets his son back, but only for a while. He quickly loses his son again to the thugs.Now with no more moves to make he has to get his son back, with Jose and his henchmen after him as well as the two IA agents and Vincent's ex-wife constantly calling him on the phone.Nuit Blanche is quite thrilling at first. Everything up to the point where he loses his son after getting him is very exciting, timing is very important for Vincent and we are on the edge counting the seconds till the foreign drug dealers discover the ruse. Things slow down then for a bit as Vincent has no way out--no drugs, no weapon (he hid his somewhere in the club). But quickly things pick up again as he confronts the IA agents very violently and things get a little funny too as he uses some cute girl he rescued earlier from a pushy guy to hide and escape from all the people after him. Story-wise too there are several twists and turns and things aren't quite as they seem.But, too much time is spent on the son, the ex-wife, kitchen fight scenes. Vincent running through a very crowded club gets repetitive fast. Almost the entire movie is set in the club and despite attempts to give us a variety of environments, it does get tiring after a while. Nevertheless, for a Heat-inspired French action thriller, this movie is worth watching.

Exciting, fast paced, surprising, everything is wonderful in this high scale french crime flick. Everything. There is no love story for sissies here. Only a tale of rotten cops vs a handful of thugs in search for a drug shipment. All the action takes place in a night club You find here no "good" character, except a supporting one, ONLY ONE. Yes folks. It's unusual, isn'it? A female cop.All the other characters are not really sympathetic, not at all. Even the lead: Tomer Sisley, who gives here a better performance than in LARGO WINCH crap. Yes, I love this movie, the "crossing" between the different characters, two groups of gangsters and the different rotten cops. All this brilliantly made mix up gives a very entertaining, fast paced story, with an editing that keeps you stuck to your seat. The screenplay is a little masterpiece. Julien Boisselier is here a better bad guy than in LES GARDIENS DE L'ORDRE. Boisselier with his good son in law face.Joey Starr is of course a terrific mobster.Don't miss this film. It's in the line of A BOUT PORTANT. The new kind of french thriller.
