Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Sleepless (2017)






Directed by: Baran bo Odar

Written by: Andrea Berloff, Frédéric Jardin, Nicolas Saada, & Oliver Douyère

Starring: Jamie Foxx, Michelle Monaghan, & Dermot Mulroney



When I first saw the preview for this film, I thought that it was an African American version of Taken.  It's not.  So whoever made the previews, you need to fix that.

Foxx plays Vincent, an undercover cop that actually works for the DEA ready to bust drug dealers.  Unfortunately, those drug dealers catch on and kidnap Vincent's son in order to stop him.  Vincent has to choose between saving his son and saving his job, or can he save both?

It was okay.  That's about it.  There wasn't anything exciting and the film felt familiar.  The best part of the film is Monaghan's part.  She plays a suspicious cop that wants to take Vincent down.  She's pretty awesome.

But nothing other than that.  2 popcorns.
