"Sleepless Night" American Theatrical Poster
The 2011 French action-thriller Sleepless Night has garnered rave reviews online, with some critics even dubbing it ‘Die Hard in a nightclub.’ The film follows a disgraced police detective out to save his young son’s life by returning some stolen drugs to a mob boss. The drug deal is set to take place in the boss’ swank club but everything that can go wrong, does go wrong and it ends up becoming a, well, sleepless night for all parties involved.
Written and directed by Frederic Jardin, the film’s action sequences have already drawn comparisons to the Bourne movies and 24. You can check out the trailer courtesy of Apple Quicktime. Sleepless Night will be available on iTunes and other On Demand services starting April 17th, with a limited theatrical release set to follow on May 11th.
