What a waste of a good half and hour! Totally unoriginal. So blimming predictable. Freaking boring. Trying too hard. Heavens! They could have donated the money to some charity,

where have all the goodmovies gone?!!!

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)People, this movie is awesome. I cannot believe some of the reviewers complaining about this movie. Its not meant to be an academy award or with A-list actors with a mega budget and special effects. Its a popcorn and soda suspense movie, designed to have a good thrilling experience with an edge for viewers to put the puzzle together as the movie reaches its crescendo. I bought the dvd and watched the producer’s comments of the entire movie and it was extremely methodical to what they wanted the audience to experience. A class ‘A’ movie imho and a movie to enjoy over and over again. And like the producer said at the end of his presentation, the movie gives life to AWAKE2 and hopefully it will be payback. This is not an action movie nor filled with sex and violence, its a thinking person’s movie allowing the audience to develope feelings and an understanding to each character. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

umm i personally thought that the movie awake was a very good movie. I understand the non relevance to the “awake during surgery” but imagine the movie without him being awake. I loved hayden in it and i loved jessica alba in it and the twist to the story was exciting and the movie kept me on the edge of my seat. And what is a movie without a little blood??? Overall the movie rocked

I don’t care about seeing this, but what the hell is with all the gore? I plan to hopefully buy the first Hostel, but reading the plot of its sequel on Wikipedia really got me thinking about the torture porn fad that was dying.

We get it, gore is disgusting. But enough is enough. At least Saw does each sequel each year, and on friggin’ HALLOWEEN on top of that (yet each October has less horror and more Oscar)! What happened to good ol’ thrillers and scares? Sure, there’s a place for gore in movies, mostly horror, but it has to play more as a partner with the plot of the movie, not the star. The story idea was decent for a thriller (except for the “Awake” part that became pointless), but why show guts when it kills the tension and urges the desire to leave the theater?

Good review guys, and have a good weekend!

Nice buzzcut, Doug!

Good review. I like Nip/Tuck, a surgery show that shows some blood, but it’s not gratuitous. I don’t like seeing guts all over the place all of the time, so I might pass on this, unless I’m feeling brave(or bored).
