Synopsis
The Nest (Nid de guêpes, 2002) is a French action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A night-time prisoner transfer goes wrong, and a special-forces unit barricades itself inside an abandoned warehouse.
Officer Laborie (Nadia Farès) is escorting Albanian crime boss Abedin Nexhep — the man behind a Europe-wide prostitution ring — to trial when his gunmen ambush the convoy. Pinned down, her team stumbles onto a crew of thieves raiding the same building for computer hardware. Cops and crooks end up defending the same walls against waves of hired killers. Benoît Magimel, Samy Naceri and Sami Bouajila co-star.
Director Florent-Emilio Siri builds a tight siege picture in the vein of Assault on Precinct 13 — few pauses, precise nocturnal gunfights, mounting claustrophobia. One for fans of hard, unglamorous European action. Stream The Nest online on iFILM.
