Night Patrol

About This Movie

Night Patrol is an interesting blend of action and thriller, set against the gritty backdrop of Paris. The film dives into the murky waters of political intrigue, as inspectors Leo Gorce and Gu Arenas, alongside journalist Diane Castelain, navigate a web of corruption to uncover the truth behind a Parliament member’s murder. The pacing is a bit uneven—there's a mix of taut moments and stretches where it drags, but it adds to the overall atmosphere. The performances keep it engaging, with a solid chemistry between the leads. What I found distinctive was the practical effects used in certain scenes; they give it an authentic feel that’s often missing in today's films. It’s a curious piece for anyone interested in 80s cinema's take on crime narratives.
