Going into this movie, I knew it was going to be crap. The two main actors just aren't good in anything.Hayden Christianson is absolultely horrible in anything he ever does. Jessica Alba, a smoking hot woman, is better than Christianson but still even she cant act to save her life. OK on to the story. Awake is about a businessman having to undergo surgery and he's one of the few people that don't go totally under. Yet he cant move or wake up to let these doctors know. Unfortunately the doctors have ulterior motives and so Christianson is stuck being the pawn in the doctors game. The premise itself is intriguing. I think it would have been a better movie had the script been better and the studio had found better actors. I heard somewhere that Jared Leto had been in the role but he quit. He would have probably saved the movie. such a waste of time

I had not heard of this movie when me and my friend picked it up at Blockbuster. It was between this and Be Kind Rewind and fortunately we chose this movie. Ray Liotta plays a district attourney running for mayor when his DA is raped by a supposed psychotic music store clerk and then murders him. Liotta is taken on a roller coaster of a mystery where you don't know who is telling the truth and if everyone is who they say they are. There are so many twists and turns that it becomes confusing at points but it all adds up to the ending which relieves your confusion. I haven't heard of Jolene Blalock but she is excellent in her role as the supposedly raped(was she or wasn't she?) DA who may have some tricks up her sleeve. The only thing i had a problem with was some of the dialouge. LL Cool J's ramblings about everything smelling like food was a bit strange. Other than that it was awesome

honestly i don't understand all the negativity towards this movie because i thought the movie was great. Al Pacino is great in this movie and the plot was pretty damn good as well. yes i will admit its a bit slow at the beginning but from the first phone call you are led through a mystery with spins a web of so many twists and turns you are practically glued to your seat. you will not expect the ending or who the killer turns out to be or do you? Leelee Sobiesky(don't know if thats right or not)is turning out to be an excellen actress as well as Benjamin McKenzie(actor not actress) yes for you guys there is a bit of eye candy(some sizzling women in this movie with a bit nudity as well)
