Une nuit

Captain Simon Weiss is the commander of the police unit dealing with vice in Paris. A large portion of his role entails him going around the known vice dens and ensuring that no lines are being crossed. The line between him being a policeman and being a confidant and coach of criminals is starting to get blurred.

A film that had potential to show how even police can become the things they're there to police and simply as a crime-drama. However, it is let down by a rather gung ho script and overly alpha performance in the lead role. There's no subtlety, no slow progression from cop to criminal. Some degree of grey would have been good: it's all too black and white.

Decent ending though and this saves this movie from being an absolute waste of time.

I don't usually write reviews, but I could not help but notice that there were not many reviews on this movie.... what a shame!

The movie is about as believable as you can experience, what a Vice cop in Paris goes through. Although it is only one night, it shows what the underworld really must be like in the city of Paris at night.

I won't say anymore, but if you can catch this one on Netflix, with the sub titles ( i know, i know.. not many like a movie with subtitles ), but I am sure you will be riveted to your seat as the movie unfolds, and the ending is just as it should be.

Do yourself a favor, and watch it once.... bet you will watch it again and again afterwards.

A FLAWLESS terrific noir, dark and shiny, with a hard-as-nails cop on his rounds one night. Very reminiscent of French New Wave style of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The characters are well-defined and true to life. Both cops and mobsters have depth, with terrific casting and acting, and some moments of spontaneous humour.

A gem, must see.

This film is more about dignity of an ordinary man - yes he sins but there would be other one in his place and may be much worse - acting is superb and very believable. His "driver" acts great with nice twist at the end. All characters are executed pretty well. I would love to have such a friend - person you can trust. Driving through Paris through night is a Bonus.

Interesting to experience another culture, a different police force and approach, another country and finally the night scene something we all know exists and remains way of life for the many. The underworld comes to mind. The world of shadows and not quite what you would see or support lets say during the day time but it exists none the less. I liked the fact of how respected out of fear the police are in this movie to the point that they don't need a gun to make themselves obeyed but can use a gun to make a point no problem when they have to. At some point, we are introduced to the power and corruption of the human nature that once it starts, not only can it not stop but it craves more and more. This be the case here. A good time well spent watching something different. Recommend finger foods and tasty drink. Enjoy
