AWAKE



This movie starring Hayden Christensen (Clay Beresford) and Jessica Alba (Sam Lockwood) have great chemistry,
as the story progresses, there's alot of things you find out, and through half way the movie, you just can't get enough.
It references to the real phenomenon 'anesthetic awareness' in which surgery patients, though completely paralyzed, are conscious of everything they are experiencing.

This movie starts out as a hot shot billionaire who's got almost everything, money, a beautiful lover, and the love of his mother, but things holding him back, such as a questioning past, and a heart condition change everything.

As he goes into surgery, he think's he's heading into sleep, until he finally is painfully given a shock when his surgery starts, from there, his journey starts from knowing dirty little secrets while paralyzed, and deeping deeper into his past to find more answers.


I actually liked this movie, I went under anethesia before, and I've gone to sleep peacefully along with the vast majority, and when I saw this, for sure I was more aware! This movie, although underated and probably not the highest sales in box office history, it still is incredible, and is a huge step for Alba and a even bigger step for Christensen.


Overall Rating: 8/10
