Awake turns the disturbingly real phenomenon of anesthetic awareness - in which surgery patients, through 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. Co-starring 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)
