Point Blank (A Bout Portant), a taut and gritty suspense thriller from France written and directed by Fred Cavayé, starring Gilles Lellouche, Roschdy Zem, Gérard Lanvin and Elena Anaya.  Selected in the Spotlight section of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.

This movie is a French  thriller  full  of action, where some persecutions  are the main ingredient.  This  story describes the corruption of some gangs and how they want to blame a man like the main target. Samuel (Lellouche) is a happily married nurse working in a Paris hospital. When his very pregnant wife (Anaya) is kidnapped before his helpless eyes, everything falls apart. After being knocked unconscious, he comes to and his cell phone rings: he has three hours to get Sartet (Zem), a man under police surveillance, out of the hospital. So this is an exhilarating non-stop ride through Paris’ streets, subways, hospitals, warehouses, and police stations, as Samuel quickly finds himself pitted against rival gangsters and trigger-happy police in a deadly race to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. Certainly is a good movie that can not be missed in theaters.
