That person is what we want to capture on the screen the nuance of him. ![]() All praise to Allah, my brother, I’m happy.” I’m clean, I’m free, no more vultures, no more people in my life trying to take anything. Reviews Channel24 (South Africa) Phumlani S Langa Director Baran Odar does well with this feature, and even gets an acceptable performance out of T.I. “Mike, how you feelin’?” “All praise to Allah, my brother, I’m happy, how are you?” I said, “I’m great man, how are you?” “I’m just happy.” I said, “Why are you happy?” “Cause I don’t have any money no more.” I said, “What?” “I don’t have any money anymore.” I said, “Why are you happy about that?” “It’s cause nobody takes anything from me now. 4 MIN Rotten Tomatoes Score TOMATOMETER 25 Critics Consensus: Sleepless wastes a talented cast - and solid source material - on a tired crime drama whose clichs rapidly outnumber its thrills. After a car chase and shootout, the two come into the possession of twenty-five kilos of cocaine, but Vincent soon learns it was intended for casino boss Stanley Rubino (DERMOT MULRONEY) when the latters goons knife him and kidnap his sixteen. Then, I’m sitting with Mike Tyson when we go to pitch the idea, and the difference of Mike Tyson at that time was, when I called him to ask how’s he doing-voice changed, different demeanor, and this is what we wanna capture in the movie. Vincent Downs (JAMIE FOXX) and Sean Cass (T.I.) are homicide detectives working the Las Vegas beat. So I watched his life from that vantage point. It gets a standing ovation, Mike Tyson comes up to me, says, “There he is! You funny, come here.” And I started hanging out with Mike Tyson at twenty-one years old. Jamie Foxx: And the guy Rodney says, “Mike says do the joke! And that s- better be funny.” So I do the joke, “I’m Mike Tyson,” do the joke, I think it was me as Mike Tyson going through Kentucky Fried Chicken drive-thru, ordering, “Can I get slaw? Chicken and biscuits and slaw?” Whatever it was. Michelle Monaghan: Oh my gosh, that’s crazy. And so, that’s what you do, man, and then you get it out there and tell people, “Go check it out.” We get a chance to do this tango, and then that fight scene was so much fun, you know, pulling that off was great. ![]() Like, when you’re working in this business and you get the chance to work with people that are real cool, you respect.like Michelle, is great. ” So without a doubt, it was right up my alley. I thought, “Okay, yes, this is what I want to do, and I want to do it with this guy. And so, when I read that great action scene, cause it read so quickly-the script-and then it culminated in that, I was like, “Yes!” And she was still so tough as nails all the way through that. ![]() Someone who’s very tough and determined and capable, and physical. Michelle Monaghan: I mean, I love action films too, but I was really drawn to the character, because this is a characters that not oftentimes I get the opportunity to play. What drew you guys to of Downes and Bryant? That’s real cool.I love action films, especially modern day action films like Taken, Collateral is one of my favorites. And then with Jamie, just the ability to improv and just to get a scene on paper, but to be able to kind of shake it up a little bit, you know, give us new ideas and just kind of give you the freedom to be able to imagine a little bit more. Likewise, Boyega praised both Foxx and Parris’ performances saying, “The extroverted high energy from Yo-Yo kind of teaches you your place in a sense, but yet still gives the gang some form of energy that keeps you motivated as you go through a scene. He’s like, ‘Here’s a joke that would cut me down, that’d make me look crazy,’ and so that was dope.” She also had plenty of nice things to say about working with Star Wars alum Boyega, referring to his character, Fontaine, as the cast’s “metronome.” While Parris’ Yo-Yo was “very high energy” and Foxx’s “Slick is what he is,” The Marvels star says that Fontaine was cool and collected, describing Boyega as bringing “a very calm, smooth, just chill energy to the trio that helped to balance.” Giving Foxx praise for how he was able to come up with burns on the spot, Parris says that any time she was stuck with delivering a zesty one-liner, the Day Shift actor was there to help, commenting, “He would offer me jokes and I just think that’s so dope. ![]()
