Sleepless Reviews
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]
| Aug 15, 2019
As a story it is hackneyed and predictable... the rather lazy script padded with elaborate action-filled set pieces.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2019
For those of us who like some quick, no nonsense ass-kicking action, Sleepless will provide the simplest thrills and entertainment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2018
Hampered with unnecessary add-on characters that are more interesting than the central lead, "Sleepless" is a dull action remake that vaguely resembles its original film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2018
... one does not know if Jamie Foxx is in it for drama, action or comedy. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2017
It's macho, tediously violent and seemingly shot almost entirely within the confines of one of the resort's casino-hotels. I certainly won't be making a reservation.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 12, 2017
You'll probably spot most of the twists coming. But the film's relentless pace ensures the excitement rarely flags.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2017
[Sleepless] fashions a familiar action vehicle for an Academy Award-winning star (Jamie Foxx) looking to stroll through a paycheck role.
| Original Score: D | Sep 12, 2017
Sleepless has the puzzling, 95-minutes feel of a doomed project that has been mercilessly edited to digestible proportions.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 14, 2017
Jamie Foxx is far too talented for such generic material, which betrays both the original and its title by proving utterly snooze-inducing.
| May 17, 2017
The over-arching flatness and lack of inspiration in its climax leave you feeling as if Odar and screenwriter Andrea Berloff are similarly unenthused.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 8, 2017
It's thin but taut and at a lean 95 minutes, it zips along at a propulsive, entertaining clip.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2017
Sleepless commits the cardinal sin for a thriller -- it's rather dull.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 5, 2017
It all unfolds semi-watchably, albeit with an absurdly overwrought percussive score and a checklist of thriller cliches that Swiss director Baran bo Odar ticks off one by one.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 5, 2017
The final twist is genuinely unexpected, though purely because of its irrelevance.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 5, 2017
A smart and speedy cop movie that occasionally reaches for greatness.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2017
Relies on so many plot holes and cliches, even a mildly decent climax cannot save it from shoddiness.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2017
For the most part - the dynamic is kept pleasingly taut and the action set-pieces ably handled.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2017
Unlikeable characters make bizarre decisions, often motivated by reasons that aren't exactly clear.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2017
