The Collider:
The domestic trailer for the French action-thriller Sleepless Night has gone online. The plot centers on a cop (Tomer Sisley) who steals drugs from a mobster (Serge Riaboukine), and the mobster retaliates by kidnapping the cop’s son. When the cop goes back to exchange the stolen drugs for his son, the drugs go missing, and the cop goes on a frantic chase inside the mobster’s night club to rescue his son by any means possible. It was one of the best films I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, and I’m glad it’s about to hit stateside. My review is quoted in the trailer, but I feel it’s important to note that the trailer inserts an exclamation point I didn’t use. Exclamation points change the tone of a sentence, and I don’t think I’ve ever used one to make a serious point in a review
Not a bad film but leaves the unshakable feeling that more needed to be said before the credits started rolling; less action and more character would have been a good place to start.

This is interesting...basically the same movie you'd see maybe Bruce Willis in trying to get his daughter back from the bad guys in Live Free or Die Hard...but with subtitles.
