2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   A very cool thriller using an interesting premise of having ‘anesthetic awareness’ and some sort of telepathy as a means to tell the story and reveal the bad guys. Very innovative and interesting. The movie starts of at feeling a bit out there, but as you begin to learn of the plot and what is really going on, it keeps you at the edge of your seat wanting to know more. The hallmark of a very well crafted thriller.

4. Acting

   Good 3.0

   Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba were fun to watch. Ok, the script wasn’t that demanding for Hayden, and Jessica is just pleasant to watch in general – but they did work well together. Terence Howard did a nice job, but my acting pick goes to Lena Olin as the over influencing mom for the range of drama and emotion.
