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]

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

This movie should've had a sequel with Jamie Fox. The hate this film received was outrageous. Most action packed enthusiasts want more action in movies and less back stories. We finally received that action in this movie and all this film receives is hate and criticism. 5 stars in my book.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
