New Trailer For Awake Christensen and Alba emote asses off Source: Yahoo! Movies
Hayden Christensen gets a lot of flack for being a bad actor, something we have to disagree with having seen how great he was in Shattered Glass and the firm belief we have that he'll be great in the terrific looking Jumper. It seems to be more a case that he's as good as the dialogue he's given. We wouldn't be so unfair as to judge his next movie, Awake, based on this short trailer, but the dialogue displayed in this new trailer suggests he's not working with gold on this one.
He plays a man who is not so much with the sleepiness during an operation and hears everything the surgeons are doing to him, which is not all above board. In some sort of out of body whathaveyou he tries to reach his girlfriend (Jessica Alba) and save his own life or something. To be honest, it was confusing and we were too busy perversely enjoying lines like "Wait something's wrong, I can still hear you!" and "Just inject the heart and in an hour he'll be dead and we'll be rich" (spoken by Fisher Stevens for added awesomeness!).
The film does have Terrence Howard and Lena Olin, so surely can't be all bad. Which, in a way, would be slightly disappointing given the potential joy to be had from a man on a gurney shouting fruitlessly at a scalpel wielding ne'erdowell who might as well we swirling a long black cape.
Jeez! This looks pretty weird. It's a rather strange idea for a film. Anesthesia. However it doesn't look as bad as Empire described it although there is so many split second flashes towards the end that I didn't know what I was seeing. Still the cast aren't too shabby. Christensen isn't great and neither is Alba but their not the worst. I'll hold out for this but it could turn out to be plain one star shite! ... Read More

Ugh, scary! I was totally gripped by this, Hayden looks his best again from Shattered Glass and Star Wars, not like he was in Factory Girl. What was also quite scary is that it's based on truth about people being awake when they are supposed to be asleep. Very frightening, ta Empire for this trailer! ... Read More
This movie has been in the making for two years, and I can't wait to see it. The trailer appears to tell you more than it does, but there are twists in the plot and an ending that you won't see coming! Get ready! It's a must see! (And Hayden gives one of his best performances ever. He shines in this!) ... Read More
