Sleepless Night (2011)
Directed by Frédéric Jardin, Sleepless Night (2011) is a thrilling French-language action film. Co-written by Jardin and Nicolas Saada, the movie stars Tomer Sisley, Adel Bencherif, Julien Boisselier, Serge Riaboukine, and Pom Klementieff. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011 and received positive reviews from critics. Sisley was immediately drawn to the role after reading the script and performed all his own stunts for authenticity. According to Sisley, this allowed Jardin to have more creative freedom with camera placement. To fulfill production requirements as a joint Belgian-French-Luxembourgian venture, certain scenes were shot in each respective country – the dance club scene in Belgium and the kitchen and parking scenes in Luxembourg.
A drug heist takes a turn for the worse when a carrier manages to escape and gets a glimpse of the faces of the robbers. To everyone’s surprise, the two masked men are revealed to be police officers who had orchestrated the plan. Vincent, now wounded from being stabbed, ends up with a large bag of cocaine that belongs to none other than Jose, a notorious mob boss and owner of a popular nightclub. In order to reclaim his property, Jose kidnaps Vincent’s son and gives him until the end of the night to return the stash and save his child.
