Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Being in the medical field attracted me to this movie in the first place and I was hoked within the first ten minutes. The plot is not too deep and each character is covered just enough to throw you off. The twist towards the ending is what really made me love this movie. Highly recommended for a date or just a good night in with some popcorn.

Much better than I thought it would be. This movie really gave me the creeps. You will think twice next time you are going in for a "routine" operation.
