Sleepless

Jamie Foxx is a dirty cop in the lean, mean, and completely implausible Sleepless.

Sleepless isn’t intellectually offensive or even all that embarrassing for the talent involved. Beat by beat, right down to its twists, it’s a predictable January thriller.

Sleepless is the kind of actioner that does best in cable TV syndication loops, where you can tune-in for excitement while remaining distracted otherwise.

"Sleepless" is one of those movies that needed to be a lot better or a lot worse to make much of an impression.

Jamie Foxx plays a Las Vegas undercover agent on the run from cops, drug dealers — and a movie that's all sizzle and no steak.

Jamie Foxx plays a crooked cop desperate to save his kidnapped son in this remake of a 2011 French thriller.

So trite as to teeter on parody, this Vegas-set ticking-clock thriller is a shouty bore.

Sleepless, directed by Baran bo Odar, sets a low bar for itself, and then trips over it.
