About Movie:

Sleepless Night (French: Nuit Blanche) is a French-language action thriller film directed by Frédéric Jardin, and co-written with Nicolas Saada. The film stars Tomer Sisley, Adel Bencherif, Julien Boisselier, Serge Riaboukine, and Pom Klementieff.

Sleepless Night premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011 and received positive reviews from critics. The film was praised for its intense action sequences, tight pacing, and the claustrophobic atmosphere created by its nightclub setting. Critics highlighted the film’s ability to maintain suspense throughout its runtime, with many noting the realistic portrayal of Vincent’s struggles as he attempts to save his son while dealing with the consequences of his actions.

The film’s unique premise and execution have contributed to its status as a notable entry in the action thriller genre. Its influence can be seen in various remakes, including the Tamil film Thoongaa Vanam (2015) and its Telugu counterpart Cheekati Rajyam.
