benibn Another expensive Hollywood movie with no faithful acting at all, again! No one can survive that kind of fighting but Usa still lay lots of money for just anything in value. Grow up, wake up Usa and Hollywood. I gave it 3 stars cause it shows the ugly reality going on in the world. A violence spiral, increasing because of no believe in Jesus.

Floated2 Sleepless is a Jamie Foxx lead film where he has the ability to shine. Though there isn't much to this film in which hasn't been already made in past films. Typical, generic and predictable "undercover cop/bad cop" thriller. We can see as to why this film was released in January as it is a dumping ground for films, in which many are forgotten by the end of the year. Some decent action scenes and nice shots of the Las Vegas lights and scenery but the film has some silly characters and scenes. Such as the drug kingpins not checking their products before leaving the building, allowing Jamie Foxx to escape. Some behavior by the son was questionable, such as a scene with him a club where is trying to spot his father yet screams loud ensuring the villains spot him. Overall, his character was annoying.Sleepless reminds of Taken but without the suspense, thrills and overall excitement. Jamie Foxx is no Liam Neeson in action films. Also the ending of this film appeared to make a clear sequel-esque ending (though with the way this film flops, we doubt a sequel will actually happen). Overall Sleepless doesn't provide much of anything new.

Andres-Camara An action movie, to see how it is, well look, I do not know if it's worth saying. Those moments when you know that the director is going to spoil it even more, and it happens, that's this movie. At least he's letting you discover things on the fly. While giving that role to the mother in the end, it's like enough.It is not shot like the French one, but it is badly shot. It does not make you dizzy, but it does not tell you anything.The casting is better, without being a marvel. Here the owner of the disco, Dermot, at least it does not disgust you. The dealer is scary. Otherwise it's worth it.Photography is beautiful, you can not say no. AccompanyThe address is that it is bad. Do not bore, there is action, although it is not well taken. He does not know how to put the camera.I would not recommend it

popcorninhell Watching Sleepless is much like eating the last chalupa of the night at a run-down Taco Bell. All the ingredients are there to give you a low-rent, but still pretty satisfying experience. Yet once you actually sit down and take your first big bite, you realize everything has coagulated into an undecipherable mess. And, as if you taunt you, they managed to sneak in some fresh lettuce.The story begins with a ballsy, dark alley drug heist perpetrated by two dirty cops, Vincent Dowds (Foxx) and Sean Cass (T.I.). After a lengthy gunfight and escape, the two are assigned the next morning to their own crime scene, all but guaranteeing they're in the clear as far as the law is concerned. This doesn't sit well with Internal Affairs Agent Jennifer Bryant (Monaghan) whose recent brush with corruption has left her hyper-aware of citizens above suspicion. Dowds and Cass think they're in the clear. They think they can simply resell their score. Unfortunately, Las Vegas is a smaller town than they realize and the powers that be decide Dowd's son (Johnson) would be the perfect bargaining chip.The fresh lettuce in this case (if we decide to continue the belabored taco metaphor), is best represented by the script. Sleepless is based on the French film Nuit Blanche (2011), a movie marketed as a cross between Die Hard (1988) meets 24 (2001-2010) by way of Taken (2008). With that kind of framing, it's easy to see the influences. The mechanics of the script gifts its audience with escalating stakes, a clear time-clock, a largely singular location and an array of conflicting motivations and double-crosses.Yet in the hands of relatively green German director Baran bo Odar and the positively sleepwalking Jamie Foxx, Sleepless can't help but buckle under the weight of the script's machinations. Instead of emphasizing human emotions to gain tension and momentum, the film clumsily succumbs to the lazy rhythms of American action clichés. This requires, among other things, an obligatory car chase, the main villain mindlessly intimating his underlings, and Jamie Foxx brawling and dodge bullets with superhuman aplomb while nursing a stab wound to the abdomen. The fact that no bad guys were dispatched from the rooftop of the Luxur Hotel and Casino is a minor miracle.The results are not just second-rate, they're last-rate. Every angle of this film was shot not with maximum aesthetic appeal in mind, but to hide how embarrassingly cheap this film is. The lions share of the fight scenes take place not in the casino but in the back service corridors. The car chase I mentioned, takes place in a near empty parking garage and the climactic showstopper at the end of the movie might as well be lifted from a Troma movie.This movie either needed to be much better or much worse than it ended up being. Perhaps if they dumbed down the script further, the cheapness of the end product would have been endearing. Perhaps they could have made an unintentionally hilarious Steven Seagal vehicle. Yet with a script this patently in-love with itself, Sleepless needed to rise to the challenge and unfortunately it folded like a bad hand of poker. The European version may have been a smart, effective and thrilling mix of genre influences, but this American remake feels like Triple 9 (2016) meets Urban Justice (2007) by way of a pile of s**t.
