Sleepless Jamie Foxx, Michelle Monaghan, Dermot Mulroney. Directed by Baran bo Odar. Rated R. Now playing citywide.

Pretty much the only nod to Las Vegas authenticity in the generic, forgettable thriller Sleepless is that the fictional hotel-casino Luxus appears to charge for parking (even for cops!). Other than that, the Vegas-set crime drama (which was mostly shot in Atlanta) takes a superficial view of the city, throwing in endless helicopter shots of the skyline as a substitute for genuinely exploring the setting. The movie could have been set anywhere, really, with its by-the-numbers story of corrupt cop Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx, barely awake), who’s targeted by underworld figures after he and his partner steal a large shipment of cocaine.

Those figures include slimy casino boss Stanley Rubino (Dermot Mulroney) and unhinged crime lord Rob Novak (Scoot McNairy, giving the movie’s only lively performance), both of whom are after Vincent inside the Luxus, where the majority of the movie takes place. Rubino has kidnapped Vincent’s sullen teenage son hoping to ransom him for the stolen drugs, but a dogged internal affairs officer (Michelle Monaghan) keeps intruding into their scheme. There are a handful of belabored and obvious plot twists along the way, plus periodic fight sequences (almost all incoherently staged) and a tour through a dingy casino set that looks like the production designers haven’t been to Las Vegas since the early ’90s.

The movie goes through the motions efficiently, at least, coming in around 90 minutes and pacing its betrayals and beatdowns at regular intervals. It ends with a cliffhanger setting up a sequel, but that’s a wildly optimistic move on the part of the filmmakers. Both Las Vegas and the movie’s overqualified cast deserve better.
