Une nuit

Not a movie for prudes or those in a state of denial. I'm a former Federal LEO in the USA. I've had a Private Investigation firm for over 20 years: this is one of only a handful of films I've ever seen that portrays what it's really like to be an elite level Vice Officer in a big (1,000,000+ population) metropolitan area...and the raw reality of what goes on after-dark in the club-scene. Kudos to the Director. Very well done.

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.

This movie makes Collateral and Heat seem like Walt Disney. This is a very well made hard core police thriller with superb actors and very realistic storyline. The scenery of Paris by night with all its weird nightclubs and interesting personalities will keep you glued to the screen. The atmosphere is quite dark, but at times displays good in even the darkest corners of misery. The strength of the movie is the depth of the characters and the diversity. Good guys have flaws and bad guys have feelings too. Not the black or white scale we are too used with in American movies. This is a must see and Im amazed this movie didn't get more attention abroad. This is a sure 10 out of 10 movie. See it!

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

The seedy underbelly of Paris by night. No gratuitous violence or extreme language helped make this a stand out film. I'd compare it with Get Carter and Crash. It really is very good - especially the ending.

Great acting by the two leads who really carry the film with the suspenseful plot. Highly recommend this.
