Review of Awake (2007) by Francesca P — 15 Sep 2009

I had never even heard this movie before I started watching it the other night. It's short (i.e. a dream come true) with a 78 minute running time. The plot almost had an Edgar Allan Poe-ish feel. Hayden Christensen doesn't do a very good job, but Jessica Alba and Terrence Howard both deliver believable performances.

For those of you with weak stomachs, some of the surgery stuff is a bit gruesome. All in all, a very weird idea for a motion picture. No wonder I've never heard of it!
