DVD Review for 3/18/08: Awake

Awake

3 out of 5 stars

Overview
Awake is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a man (Hayden Christensen) undergoing heart surgery while experiencing a phenomenon called "anesthetic awareness", in which it leaves him awake but paralyzed thourghout the operation. As various obstacles present themselves, his wife (Jessica Alba) must make life-altering decisions while wresting with her own personal drama.

My Stupid Review
I gave this movie 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't a Great Movie but it did keep my attention throughout, and there is a few twists that make it worth while. Hayden played a good role, but it was hard not to think that at any moment he would pull out his light saber and start slashing up young padawans. Jessica Alba was HOT as usual, but not really acting wise. The story was good, the acting not so good. The best role was played by Terrance Howard who was the Dr. that performed the operation. It's worth renting, but don't go putting it on hold at your local Blockbuster. Thats just my opinion take it or leave it
