THEY GOT T!!!!!!! (haven't seen this movie) this is the first review i've ever written.....good first start

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.

Washed out storyline could not save this mediocre thriller. Sure it has some moments but the twists are really predictable and the characterization is found in every undercover thriller out there. Jamie Foxx is tough and plays the role pretty well. He is also believable but then its not much of a stretch anyway. David Harbour was good enough bot not up to his standards. Same goes to Michelle Monaghan who was painfully wasted, but hey at least she got a role again. The action scenes are well edited, but the rest of the film lacked in storytelling and was not able to make the audience fully capture to the screen. I was not sleepless during watching this film, actually I was very sleepy...

In all seriousness though, this movie doesn't have that much creativity going. In my opinion, this movie was just a try at a crazy action movie that instead came out as a college project made by people who didn't know what they were doing, and was directed by a guy that said "you don't need a script, just have violence and it'll all be happy happy joy joy." Yeah no this movie sucks. Shoutouts to Ralph Sepe Jr. everybody.
