Undercover Las Vegas police officer Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx) finds himself caught in a high-stakes web of corrupt cops, internal affairs and murderous gangsters. When a failed heist leads to the kidnapping of his teenage son (Octavius J. Johnson), Downs must race against time during a wild and restless night to save him and bring the criminals to justice.

Critics Consensus

Sleepless wastes a talented cast -- and solid source material -- on a tired crime drama whose clichés rapidly outnumber its thrills.

2/5

Sleepless has the puzzling, 95-minutes feel of a doomed project that has been mercilessly edited to digestible proportions.

3/5

It's thin but taut and at a lean 95 minutes, it zips along at a propulsive, entertaining clip.

1/5

The final twist is genuinely unexpected, though purely because of its irrelevance.

Director Baran Odar does well with this feature, and even gets an acceptable performance out of T.I.

A direction without enough nerve leaves 'Sleepless' in a limbo for videos. [Full Review in Spanish]

As a story it is hackneyed and predictable... the rather lazy script padded with elaborate action-filled set pieces.

Jamie Foxx, delivers a amazing thrilling performance that proves Sleepless is whorthy action thriller!

almost bad enough to be funny

Feb 26, 2019

Someone should have told me this was a comedy. There are more plot holes in this movie than entire pack of swiss cheese. The movie is disjointed from the start. Jamie Fox receives a serious cut to his side early in the movie and then proceeds to get in a violent, brutal fight about every ten minutes. The action scenes are not bad but they can not distract you from a story that is ridiculous at best. I do not know about you but I need at lest some logic in the plot of a movie to be able to enjoy it. This movie is so bad it leaves you to wonder if Jamie Fox even reads the script anymore. Do not waste your time with this movie.

A blatant rip off of Taken set in Las Vegas but Jamie Foxx puts a good performance with a script that is unoriginal. Jamie Foxx himself said on Howard Stern this is his hardest film for him to watch and while it was not his best film I would not go as far to say that it's one of his worst. At least Jamie Foxx had Baby Driver come out just a few months later.

A lot of action! Great plot

Feb 9, 2019

Pathetic over dramatization, long drawn out movie, anything stupid could happen will happen. All this brutal action and no cops turn up to the casino. Really shitty Hollywood action.
