Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Simply A Masterpiece

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

THEY SAID IT WAS GONNA BE AN EASY GRAB !WELL , IT AIN'T NO EASY GRAB , THEY GOT T !

Sleepless (2017).Chipper F. Xavier, Esq.Vincent (Jamie Foxx) is a police officer and father who stands in the shadows while his ex-wife Dena (Gabrielle Union) begins life anew with another man who has more time for her and their son Thomas (Octavius J. Johnson). When Vincent's police partner Sean (T.I. Harris) sets up a sting operation with a promise of easy money, Vincent suddenly realizes that his life is headed in the wrong direction.Director Baran bo Odar and writer Andrea Berloff deliver a modern remake of the french film Nuit Blanche (2011) with bombastic results. While Sleepless as an American film is easier to follow for speakers of English, the end result of the re-tooling leaves a lot to be desired.The good: Jamie Foxx delivers great action scenes, even though they aren't unique and strain credulity. He is compelling as a rogue cop, and probably the crucial selling point of such a movie. The bad: Even though the movie is set in Las Vegas, the neon colors, bright lights and extra-loud sound effects fail to distract from the basic lack of direction. Action scenes are piled atop one another like flanks of beef at a butcher's shop, and there is more than enough blood here to fill a few swimming pools. Nearly everyone in the movie is mercilessly shot, pummeled or gonad-squeezed, sometimes more than once. All this violence could be entertaining if shaped and contextualized a bit more, but alas - we're treated to a smorgasbord of it as though we couldn't possibly want for more.Violence has its place at the movies, and can sometimes be entertaining in a cathartic way. The director's job is to give us a reason for the violence, rather than shocking us into submission. Sadly, Sleepless would rather beat us bloody than tickle our fancy - which is a real shame, because this movie could have much more going for it. If you're bored, be sure to check it out - but this movie would probably work better as big-screen-background-noise to a really bitchin' Saturday night party, where viewers just glance over every fifteen minutes and chuckle.

That irritating beat with techno music is just bad. I wish there was an option to turn the music off for movies.

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
