In Las Vegas, vice LVMPD policemen Vincent Downs and Sean Cass rob a shipment of cocaine belonging to entrepreneur Stanley Rubino, who intended to sell it to mobster Rob Novak, the son of a powerful mob boss. They volunteer to investigate the robbery in order to cover up their involvement, clashing with Internal Affairs investigators Jennifer Bryant and Doug Dennison, who are suspicious of their involvement. It is also revealed that Vincent is estranged from his wife Dena, who is getting remarried, and has minimal involvement in the life of his 16-year-old son Thomas..

SLEEPLESS (2017) is directed by Bran bo Odar, written by Andrea Berloff and produced by Adam C. Stone. As one who is seemingly always into a good cop thriller, I was eager to see what SLEEPLESS had in store.
As I watched I felt the story had an original take, but lacked something when it came to the depth of its characters. It had its twists and turns, but even those were not able to create more than just an entertaining film.
In the End: SLEEPLESS delivered an entertaining film that I felt could have done more with the story and development of the characters. So I give it 3 of 5 stars.
