Awake
Awake adds new levels to the title of psychological thriller. Just when you think you know what’s going on, a new twist rocks you with a shock bigger than the one before. With a charismatic cast and Jessica Alba going to new lengths as an actress, this movie is sure get your heart pumping. Hayden Christiansen gives new depth to the term anesthetic awareness. This movie grabs you and refuses to let go. This movie “does for operations, what Jaws did for the water”-Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter. Terrence Howard is slightly confusing and makes you wonder. Every thing is achieved, and this movie deserves more recognition than it is getting. I thank the writer Joby Harold for allowing me to slip into a deep sleep for almost two hours filled with frightening, disturbing, and brilliant dreams.
Review By: leereed2009
how to wreck a good idea, by shoddy film-making
Joby Harold’s first film shows about as much promise as the infected heart that the main character, Clay, will receive and will kill him promptly soon afterwords. Maybe there might be a future for Joby (who’s main credential on IMDb, according to the trivia, is that “he is British”), but Awake does’t reveal anything about its maker except that he knows how to contrive a concept to the point of inertia. There is a fascinating film that could be made about the concept behind Awake, which is what made me shill out the bucks to see it, where we see the subjective perception of someone who is meant to be under anesthesia and is actually conscious, though unable to do anything about anything, while in surgery. But from the looks of it Harold is far too interested in making a cluttered plot full of twists, wretched pretensions, and a fudge-up of what really happens in a) hospitals, and b) surgery, especially with the Terence Howard character having four malpractice cases against him.

I read one review that said with a couple more drafts to touch up on the middle section the film would work a lot better. The problem isn’t that simple; Harold just doesn’t know how to tell his story without something stupid (two guys fishing at the east river? huh?), or illogical (Christensen’s Clay dating/engaged to Alba’s Sam for over a year without the mother noticing a thing, THEN things coming, apparently we learn, totally clear to her at the hospital who she really is), or with the craziest twists this side of a bad night time soap opera cousin-cum-deformed stepchild of an ER episode (like, for example, Alba even allowed into the operating room, or the completely lax security, or things like, well, mother and son communicating in what Harold must think of his own subconscious after-world where the two of them rehash mean-old dad’s demise). There isn’t just a few plot-holes to cover up, it’s the internal structure of the characters, the manner which Harold goes about directing Clay’s delirious visions while under the knife, reeling out like a first year film student who hasn’t bothered to learn things like ‘less-is-more’ or ‘your narrative holds no water.’

By the end of Awake, I felt depressed, wondering how this even got green-lit, and I kept thinking about the answer as being quite simple: the Weinsteins saw the idea as being something worthwhile, not so much what the filmmaker had to say with the nuts and bolts of the story. It starts out dull (the opening twenty minutes or so), and then unfolds with the kind of cohesion that would lay off about a dozen carpenters on a building project. Yet it’s also another case of the Weinstein’s trying to hedge their bets too; the film was another of the “shelved” ones, as in the Miramax days a film that was either too terrible or was deemed to get cut under the knife, so to speak, of their own censoring, until such time as to dump it and cut their losses. It’s all the more a shame, in the end, not because of how its release went or whatever, but because a first-time filmmaker didn’t pull back and realize the hole he dug himself into with scene after scene that rang untrue. The actors, more or less, do what they can (hell, even Christensen tries for the potently dramatic when he appears in ‘double-form’ on a subway or in the operating room), but they can barely do much to save what remains.

It won’t leave a mark as one of the worst films ever, but it’s certainly no good time at the movies.
