Critics Consensus

Sleepless wastes a talented cast -- and solid source material -- on a tired crime drama whose clichés rapidly outnumber its thrills.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

Sleepless has the puzzling, 95-minutes feel of a doomed project that has been mercilessly edited to digestible proportions.

Rated: 2/5

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

It's thin but taut and at a lean 95 minutes, it zips along at a propulsive, entertaining clip.

Rated: 3/5

Matthew Norman

London Evening Standard

The final twist is genuinely unexpected, though purely because of its irrelevance.

Rated: 1/5

Channel24 (South Africa)

Director Baran Odar does well with this feature, and even gets an acceptable performance out of T.I.

A direction without enough nerve leaves 'Sleepless' in a limbo for videos. [Full Review in Spanish]

Paula Fleri-Soler

Times of Malta

As a story it is hackneyed and predictable... the rather lazy script padded with elaborate action-filled set pieces.

Rated: 2/5

I have no idea what everybody’s talking about. I can’t believe the audience didn’t score it well. It was very entertaining. I’m not saying it’s gonna be memorable forever, but if you’re looking for a good action movie with a few decent turnaround and one very big one at the end, you will enjoy this. It’s old 80s and 90s action, but that’s what we need more of.
