Young banking heir Clay Beresford (Hayden Christensen – Jumper) has everything – prestige, a beautiful new wife (Jessica Alba – Fantastic Four) and a lucrative career, but what he needs most of all is a life-saving heart transplant. Luckily the perfect donor is found, but joy soon turns to sheer, unmitigated terror, when he finds himself in a situation few dare to imagine. He suffers anaesthetic awareness and is inadvertently left completely alert during the complicated and painful surgery. Physically paralysed but mentally awake, he hears of a conspiracy to have him murdered and realises he is powerless to stop it.

Awake is also the most contrived thriller I've seen in a long time. But that's not all to the bad. It's more fun watching something twisty (not to say twisted) and original than yet another generic whodunit. Things gets off to a slow start - unless you consider pretty, bland Hayden Christenson and Jessica Read more
