The trouble begins from the very first sequence. Without these basic nuts-and-bolts, the whole structure collapses. And the side-by-side comparison proves overwhelmingly unfavorable to the remake, which stages most of its big set pieces in a dark casino and an even darker parking garage below, so it’s often hard to tell who’s doing what to who and where they are in relation to each other. The murkiness gums up the works needlessly, but both the original film and the remake ultimately live or die less on what they do than how they do it.
The second-rate Americanization, Sleepless, tightens up the title - though, spoiler alert, it still takes place at night - but gets flabbier in every department, adding new entanglements, expanding a couple of pivotal roles, and improvising a hectic finale when it finally runs out of plot. What sets director Frédéric Jardin’s film apart is all in the execution, topped by a close-quarters brawl into a restaurant kitchen that uses every pot, utensil, and drawer in sight. Even the title is essentially meaningless, other than to inform the viewer that the action will take place over one night and there will be no Warhol-esque scenes of people sleeping.

As Steven/Marc's enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.The 2011 French/Belgian/Luxembourgian thriller Sleepless Night arrived in theaters like a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the Luc Besson School of Eurotrash Action Filmmaking - slick, lean, and relentless from the word “go.” On a story level, however, it’s not a work of astounding innovation so much as a series of sound justifications for beefy, goateed, and largely interchangeable men to go after each other. According to Marvel's description, "Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. Marc, it seems, is Marc Spector, a mercenary. "Oh my god, you're alive!" the woman on the other end of the phone shouts. One night in the museum, he discovers a hidden key and old flip phone that's ringing. He says has "a sleeping disorder" and "can't tell the difference between waking life and dreams." The clip introduces Steven Grant (Isaac), a museum gift shop employee plagued with blackouts and strange memories.
The first official trailer for the hotly anticipated new series was released on Monday night, starring Oscar Isaac as Marvel's mysterious new superhero. and setting your calendars for March 30, when the latest Marvel Studios series, Moon Knight, hits Disney+.
