Viewing Notes

Remake no?

It is a remake with a few slight changes (one change is terrible). The original Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Nights) has better tension and action, often described as DIE HARD in a nightclub. I wasn’t as keen on that film at the time but I do believe it is better than this remake. The actors are what sells it. This version is totally watchable and worth it for Scoot McNairy’s character.

Yes, a remake of a French film whose name I can’t recall (may be the same name though).
