It toils earnestly at putting on a few different cinematic hats at the same time - it's, at once, a kidnapping film, a crime thriller, and a contained location actioner. But without any urgency, true intrigue, or set pieces that venture farther than your garden-variety fist fight, you're not really left with a film that excels in any of those directions. Don't get me wrong, it's eminently watchable and even enjoyable at times. It's just that, as an overall experience, it never really floats higher than the fair and the fine.… Expand

Sleepless is like your average sleepwalk journey. Nothing to expect, nothing to remember, nothing to cheer on. It's a series of fellow dreams that just seem forgettable to the maximum.

Have i seen better? Yes. Was this terrible? No. Yeah it's kinda all over the place at times & the plot is generic but TBH if you're wanting to see an action film, this satisfys that. Just don't expect an Oscar-performance from anyone. That'sHave i seen better? Yes. Was this terrible? No. Yeah it's kinda all over the place at times & the plot is generic but TBH if you're wanting to see an action film, this satisfys that. Just don't expect an Oscar-performance from anyone. That's due to the writing & directing. Hopefully, the director won't do too many more movies.… Expand

The story doesn't make a whole lot of sense at times, but the action scenes are well done. Passable to watch for the action, but all the things that happen are just too much. No credibility left at all way before it ends but going with a 5The story doesn't make a whole lot of sense at times, but the action scenes are well done.

A night of twist and turn events.

Maybe if you haven't seen the original, you will enjoy it, particularly if you like a thrilling clash between the cops and gangsters. For me this is the third version from the last three consecutive years. After the original French film based on the same name of the book, followed by the Kollywood remake 'Thoongavanam'. The second film was not bad, considering the way it was made to the Indian standards. They did not change much, but in this one the initial parts were almost the same and the following developments were too much. I mean literally they turned it into twice thriller with tight action sequences. Their main idea was to leave the open conclusion for a possible sequel. Which was really too intentional that not everybody would be happy with, for like those who liked the previous versions.

The actors were good, but Michelle Monaghan was the best among. Unlike the same characters from other versions, I don't know how they turned Monaghan's role so powerful. That's the negative, as the film Jamie Foxx in the lead. Otherwise, as a neutral, this is not a bad remake. The Immigrant joke was trimmed off, since today's US is not in favour of such comedies in films. And many events, especially film scenes were accelerated. So the camera moves one place to another in a quick succession unlike other versions. Yeah, these changes were needed, since the film was not a fresh piece of work or even first remake. But like I said too muchness spoiled the party. Even though one time watchable film.

If I could I would give it 5.5. It was promising, but there were too many cliche storyline themes and some boring bad guys in it, that I think it was not that good.

Much better than it's reviews but still flawed. Its better than many of the movies in its genre but unfortunately its genre is a little dated. Jamie Foxx is a much better actor than he's given credit for and this was kind of entertaining.
