Psychological thriller about a wealthy guy (Hayden) who is awake during his heart surgery. He hears the surgeons plot how they are going to kill him. But why? There are many twists, which keeps the movie interesting. Good plot but very graphic and gorey, not for the faint hearted!
Awake has a great premise but it fails to deliver the goods. Alba lacks in the acting department, no matter how 'hot' she looks on screen. Howard, normally a decent actor, phoned in his performance. Christensen seemed to deliver the best he could with a poorly written script. ...( read more)
This is a film I may not have watched, but happened to see enough of on cable which grabbed my interest. It's a psychological thriller that tells the story of a young man(Hayden Christensen) undergoing heart surgery while experiencing "anesthetic awareness" leaving him awake yet ...( read more)
I was afraid that this was going to play too heavily on the gimmic of the "anesthic awareness". In the end the overall story was a satisfying mystery.
i thought this movie was very good. i liked how u could see the man being cut open and that he was talking @ the same time.
just from the preview, this strikes me as quite bad.
edit: and 2 years later i can confirm that it WAS indeed quite bad! shouldn't suspense/thrillers be interesting? my main reason for not being into it though was the obvious "twist" ending.
That wasn't bad at all!!Very good story, excellent crime movie plot, unexpected turnings: this film has all that a film needs in order to be entertaining!
