Honestly? You could do a lot worse this winter, and you probably already have. So trite as to teeter on parody, this Vegas-set ticking-clock thriller is a shouty bore. Swiss director Baran bo Odar (Who Am I) keeps the pace taut and lets his actors play Foxx sticks to sweaty desperation and brute force, while Scoot McNairy is pleasantly unpredictable as a gangster and Michelle Monaghan and Stranger Things’s David Harbour have a surprising amount of fun as Internal Affairs agents with a nicely flinty relationship.

The trailer for Jamie Foxxs forthcoming film Sleepless dropped recently, and although it kind of gives away a good portion of the movies premise. I wasn’t expecting much from Sleepless – it’s an American remake of a French thriller, dumped in February into a handful of Toronto theatres with no press screening.
