A psycho thriller with surprising plot twists
Added 1/11/2010
4 of 5 stars for the psycho thriller movie Awake. This movie starts by giving stats on how many patients per year enter a strange awake-state called "anesthetic awareness" during surgery. OK, we can guess that this is the subject of this movie. The lead character, played by young Darth Vader Hayden Christensen is in need of a heart transplant. He marries his sweetheart (the sexy Jessica Alba) the night before the operation. As the surgery begins, lets just say it gets twisted with loads of surprises. A well created movie with a great plot and some real surprises. You should be warned that there are some graphic scenes during the surgery not for the weak stomach; I'd argue, they weren't really needed to advance the story. I do recommend this movie, however, not after a full meal.

Very weak storyline
Added 1/5/2010
You know those movies that look very interesting on the previews but turn out to be such duds? This is one of those.
The problem is not Jessica or Hayden -- who both look great -- itis the very lame premise of the story. Granted that I am willing to give some leeway for dramatic license, and this storyline has some dramatic twists and turns that provide surprise -- but this storyline is TOO much of a stretch in element after element after element.
And except for the beautiful Miss Alba there is nothing else sufficiently redeeming about the movie to justify its existence. Sorry.

starts out interesting but the twist is overdone
Added 8/30/2009
The film starts out interesting: a guy is not anesthetized properly and is alive during his operation.
This is the only story the film would have needed, and with three decent actors at their disposal they could have done great things with just that.
But then they add a major cover-up plot mixed in with an out-of-body/ghost-story that completely ruins the film.
The story is overdone and gets ridiculous.
