Quote:

SLEEPLESS stars Jamie Foxx as undercover Las Vegas police officer Vincent Downs, who is caught in a high stakes web of corrupt cops and the mob-controlled casino underground. When a heist goes wrong, a crew of homicidal gangsters kidnaps Downs’ teenage son. In one sleepless night he will have to rescue his son, evade an internal affairs investigation and bring the kidnappers to justice.

Didn't see a thread for this. Saw this mentioned on Facebook this morning. Doesn't open until Spring.

Looks like a decent gritty cop thriller. Jamie Foxx can pull off this kind of role.

Don't know about this. The original French film is a good edge of your seat nail biter.

Looked ok to me... though I have always had a crush on Michelle.

That poster looks like a direct rip off of Training Day

Saw this trailer the other day. It looks like it could be a DTV release. Monaghan being in it intrigues me though. I'll usually watch anything with her in it.

Comes out this week. No reviews yet.

I finally saw the theatrical trailer and I started to wonder if it was a remake of the French film (I couldn't remember the title, though it's been in my Netflix queue for a while). The poster, the tag line, -there's just nothing to sell, though it might get the attention of someone going to the theater who doesn't really have a particular movie in mind.
