CONCLUSSION
Sleepless is a solid action thriller. Jamie Foxx had a good performance as a cop with questionable morals who will go to virtually any lengths to save his son. It has a gripping storyline that will have you questioning who are corrupt cops and who are the good ones.
Sleepless ends with some unanswered questions that may lead to a sequel.
This is not a movie that will live long in the memory but its a good way to spend a Saturday night.
