Mikael is doctor on night call. It’s a vocation. Between two patient-visits in slum areas, he cares for those whom no one else wants to see: the drug addicts, the homeless… He rubs shoulders with destitution. His life is in shambles. Especially when it comes to his pharmacist cousin who makes him write false prescriptions for Subutex. Overnight, he decides to get out of drug trafficking and rebuild his life. But there will be a heavy price to pay.

7/10 Noir atmosphere is well one, characters not so much

Esthetically the noir atmosphere is well done.But I have to say the characters from main to supporting are quite shallow almost two dimensional. There is a superficiality in the drawing of the relationships as well as major inexplicable drop offs in the narrative as if some parts of this film were accidently lopped off in the editing wrong. I understand there was some kind of conflict with the two writers, with one quitting. Perhaps that is the explanation.In short, see well crafted noir atmosphere, very good directing and cinematography, and can tolerate narrative problems, this will be entertaining.

FRENCH ( A+ Movie) My Ratings 8.5/10

A humanitarian doctor in Paris works as a "night doctor" (a dispatcher sends him on home visits to patient overnight to provide urgent care). Meanwhile he moonlights writing Subutex scrips for desperate addicts, providing harm reduction. This puts him in contact with a criminal underworld, and moral and ethical quandaries begin to mount. All done over the course of night.
