“Sleepless” (*** out of four) was a breathless action thriller starring Jamie Foxx as a corrupt Las Vegas narcotics cop who accidentally steals money and drugs belonging to a casino owner/crime kingpin (Dermot Mulroney) which puts him and his son in the midst of a dangerous crossfire as he must retrieve the stolen goods, elude capture, save his son, and keep his composure as he comes under suspicion from his own police department. Increasingly ridiculous story is put over by high-energy and high-style direction by Baran bo Odar which never slows down for a minute. Foxx is dynamic as always but Michelle Monaghan is miscast as a tough internal affairs agent who investigates Foxx.
