Right about now you’ll be spotting clips here and there online for director Baran bo Odar’s new movie, Sleepless. Enter actor Jamie Foxx whose robust career in film and entertainment now lends us a pure, tough role that moviegoers may get a kick out of when the film opens this weekend, marking the second iteration of its 2011 French language predecessor, Blanche Nuit – the first being Kamal Haasan’s Thoongavanam in 2014.
Undercover Las Vegas police officer Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx) finds himself caught in a high-stakes web of corrupt cops, internal affairs and murderous gangsters. When a failed heist leads to the kidnapping of his teenage son, Downs must race against time during a wild and restless night to save him and bring the criminals to justice.
