Review of Sleepless (2017) by Joey B — 19 May 2017

**CONTAINS SPOILERS** (Even though it doesn't matter with this frighteningly fecal-like film whose "Twists" should be called "Smooth Flats").

Action...THRILLS....EXCITING GUNFIGHTS....this film doesn't have these things although it will attempt to lure you in that way. If you enjoy a film with massive clichés, boring fight sequences and not-at-all scary bad guys than this is your lucky day! But your time would be better spent cutting your lawn with dull toenail clippers! I wish there were more ways that I could disparage this thing because 90 of the 95 minutes I spent thinking, "Oh yeah, it's about to get good now!!" Yeah, it didn't. Jaime Foxx (Vincent Downs) was stabbed in the ribs and had his son kidnapped very, very early on; we're talking maybe 15 mins in. This happens after he steals the wrong guy's 25 kilos of cocaine. He spends the next 80 plus minutes running at full speed, fighting (and even throwing) multiple people, more running and jumping, then he ran and fought a bit. Meanwhile he's being chased by Michelle Monaghan (Jennifer Bryant) because she now knows he's a dirty cop. But what's this? He's undercover?! The only cop in the precinct dressed like he's G'd up from the feet up is undercover? That almost got passed me. Now he's in a fight between a Vegas hotel owner, an outside gangster and....you know what? Just never mind...it's garbage and I'm done talking about it. Hopefully the podcast "How Did This Get Made?" will feature this film soon! Where's my nail clippers?
