Sexy and suspenseful, Awake turns the
disturbingly real phenomenon of ""anesthetic
awareness" - in which surgery patients, though
completely paralyzed, are conscious of everything
they are experiencing, including the pain - into a
""completely absorbing" thriller (Roger Ebert).
When failed anesthesia leaves a rich young tycoon
(Hayden Christensen, Star Wars) alert but
immobilized during open-heart surgery, he
overhears a devious plot to have him killed.
Costarring Jessica Alba (Sin City) and Academy
Award nominee Terrence Howard (Crash), Awake does
""for operations what Jaws did for the beach"
(Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter).
