Junk! Sleepless? More like Talentless! So awful, and the production values.. Wow, even in Vegas and they can't get B roll.. What happened here? Omg i came back to see if it redeemed itself but wow did it NOT! I could give examples of all the rediculous plot, story and general mistakes but it would be spoilers and at that point it would just be to satisfy my own ego or need to demonstrate how 'great' i am for catching these things, albeit they're glaring and cant be missed haha.. Anyway my point is judge for yourself if you are bored enough and can afford the time and money waste... But as a whole lets not be armchair critics and ruin the films for anyone else reading these reviews in hopes of gleaning whether or not they want to experience it for themselves, cause it just ends up tainting the experience for everyone

If you like most movies and usually find things that you like in those movies, than you may like this movie. If you're below 30 years old, and have simple tastes than you might like this. Also if you don't watch many movies and just want to see something with some action in it, you may enjoy this movie. However, if you watch a lot of movies and have a practical taste in writing and acting, than you will most likely not enjoy this movie. The plot and circumstances are too reminiscent of movies past, and there is regrettable acting, as well as plot points that are so misplaced that you just might cringe. There are played out moments that occur "only in the movies," these situations would never work in real life, and it interferes with the immersion. The lack of immersion is the main offender in this movie, and I suppose it's a combination of the things I mentioned that prevent it. Since you can't ever get into it enough to remain interested, it ends up becoming hard to pay attention to/finish movie, but like a hinted at earlier.... If you like typical mindless action flicks, or traditional "B" movies, than this might find a slot in your movie collection.

This movie was made for people who just want to see mindless action. More loopholes in the storyline than a cheese grater, more character incontinuities this movie could be used for pshychology students diagnosing multiple personality disorder. So many things just happen to be in the right place at the right time just to be able to move the story along. Writing was horrible, acting didn't improve the writing. However there were few typical fight scenes that we've seen before that register as cool.
