Review of Night Shift

Night Shift (2020)
7/10
France the Police
8 May 2022
Being or rather working for the police force is quite the hard work. It has a lot of responsiblities - it is not well paid. You are under constant criticism - and of course you have to deal with bad apples and that the general public perceives you a certain way because of them. The latter is not something that plays a role in this movie.

This is more a social drama/thriller that has to do with someone who may or may not be a criminal and since he is a foreigner (in France), has to be taken back to the country he came from. Actually not just a foreigner, but an illegal alien as the Americans like to say I believe.

There is more to him than meets the eye though - even if he himself is not able to express that. But before we delve into that part of the story we do spend some time with our two main protagonists, who have their own things going - no pun intended. But when they meet the immigrant ... well things happen.

Not action filled overall, but more edge of your seat kind of tension when you wait to see what happens next. Good acting and really well done with the script.
