Jamie Foxx Battles a Drug Lord in First Sleepless Trailer

Posted on October 11, 2016

Jamie Foxx plays m an undercover Las Vegas detective in the first trailer for Sleepless. The police department that his character Vincent Downs works for is full of corruption, which is being investigated by an Internal Affairs officer (Michelle Monaghan). When Downs' son is kidnapped by a drug lord, his life pretty much implodes.

The drug lord is angry because Downs and his partner (T.I.) stole a bunch of cocaine from him. He wants his coke back or Downs' kid will die. The film is a remake of the french film Nuit Blanche in which the events take place over a single night. Downs must find and rescue his son, take down a criminal gang that controls the casinos and evade an IA investigation that could land him in jail. Or perhaps all is not as it seems?

The film also stars Gabrielle Union, Dermot Mulroney, Scoot McNairy, and David Harbour. The film was directed by Baran Bo Odar and hits theaters on February 24, 2017. Take a look:
