Restless
Available on Netflix
Police Lt. Blin (Franck Gastambide) has a knack for getting into messes. When we meet him in RESTLESS, he's torn between obligations. A relative has just died and they're waiting for him at the funeral home. At the same moment, his panicked squad is being raided by the department's internal investigation unit. That's when his car hits a man who seemingly came out of nowhere. Blin doesn't bother to wonder how the man died and guiltily discards evidence of any connection between him, his car, and the corpse. Someone (Simon Abkarian) comes along and starts beating him up and threatening his family unless he delivers the corpse. This element unravels a story of deep police corruption and collaboration with drug dealers and killers, not to mention a cascade of injury and death.
