Awake (2007)

Awake me not

To a scale of one to ten, I would rate Hayden's acting about a 5. This certain scene where he should be in terrible pain didn’t materialize for me. So check this, Hayden's character is suppose to be in the state of euphoria during the whole heart transplant thing but then for some crazy reason he's not. He can feel pain and see his whole chest cavity being dissected even though his eyes are closed and anesthesia is supposed to be flowing through his veins. It’s crazy I know and believe me that’s not even the juicy part. Well ok let’s say I believed all that, the problem was it goes down to acting once again which is probably Hayden’s weakness. The acting is frail and no doubt unbelievable. Although it was an attractive idea having someone helplessly awake in the middle of a surgery, but all Hayden did was scream Arrrrgh!! Sorry but It did not work for me. The only good part was seeing a good plan come together and then in an instant crash and burn. And before I forget there are these flashbacks that to me look like Jessica Alba's music video, it was really odd. Well anyway if you like conspiracies and Jessica Alba then it is probably reason enough to see it.
