I watch movies to be entertained, Sleepless definitely did that. While not at the top of its class when it comes to crime action/drama, it had a lot going for it in my opinion. The fight scenes were well done, the scenery was dark but was still able to show off the glitz and glamour that Vegas is known for, and the story-line wasn't half bad. I was expecting to see a bit of Collateral in this, and I feel like that's what I got only with a bit more action and less Tom Cruise.

Don't go in thinking you're going to be seeing some Oscar worthy film, that isn't what this is. If you are expecting to watch a good crime action flick with Jamie Fox kicking ass then you will be happy with what you see.

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.

Jamie Foxx is a cop. When his son is kidnapped, it's a good thing he has connections to the criminal underworld, because there's going to be a lot of drugs,shooting and shaky-cam work before the bad guys get taught a lesson about being dead.

Foxx is, of course, one of the finer actors of contemporary cinema, and he has the Golden Globe and Oscar to prove it. But so much cinema these days is about movement and explosions and how many bodies can the hero pile up. So this by-the-numbers remake of Belgian film NUIT BLANCHE hits all the marks and adds nothing new, except for large paychecks for Foxx. That's fine. But there's nothing here that adds luster to anyone, except possibly director Baran bo Odar; it's his English-language premiere, and undoubtedly crucial to his resume.

Some decent performers are involved in this, and I suppose they needed the work. I will mention that I am surprised that Dermot Mulroney is among them.
