It's as bad (or good) as the french movie it's based on... The thing is, if you read most critics reviews you'd never know it was based on another film... they really need to get better at their jobs

Yea totally agree, I see a lot of films so I didn't realize this was in effect a remake of a film I've already seen until the bathroom drug stash scene which made me immediately plug on it due to the fact that I was already going into this knowing the general rating and opinion of it being quite bad and I didn't feel the need to watch a _bad _ remake of Sleepless Night aka "Nuit blanche"(2011). I came to see if anyone else was of the same thinking.
After I stopped watching I did start reading reviews and not a single one of them mentioned that this is remake of a very recent film, I'm not dissing them for not having seen the original film, but ffs it's listed in the main credits, clueless idiots.

I saw it in the theatre with friends... I only realised it was based on Nui Blanche at around the same point in the movie... up until then it seemed just a bit more cliche then usual...
Solid cast though... still a basically by-the-numbers undercover cop movie... I entertained myself trying to see where it differed from what I remembered of the French movie... I also realised that Michelle Monaghan is still cute when angry and it was great to see Gabrielle Union on the big screen...

I saw this opening weekend. I was not aware of the original before seeing it. I do agree with what you said but i did think it had a lot of entertainment value despite its DTV vibe. About Monaghan, I felt that she was that cliche tough female cop slash Ahem character which almost took away from the movie. She wasn't really given much. I'd catch again on cable though.
