	Author	Review
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"[It] is funny sometimes but not funny enough, exciting sometimes but never exciting enough, and inherently emotional (...) yet never willing to run with the emotionalism and turn into a full-blown action melodrama (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The movie is also not very plausible, in a way that cuts down on its entertainment value"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The action is relentless, and the results monotonous."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"If 'Sleepless' feels like the microwaved leftovers of a dish that was designed to be swallowed whole, Foxx is the frozen part in the middle, the bite that makes you regret that someone tried to heat this up in the first place."	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"We get muttering and glowering from Mr. Foxx, a story that can’t manage enough twists to tie a shoelace, and set pieces that have been done better in other movies."	NEG
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"'Sleepless' never provides a satisfactory answer. It acts like it does, but it doesn’t."	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"[It] put me to sleep for a few minutes."	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This Vegas-set ticking-clock thriller is a shouty bore"	NEG
