His ONLY Film till 2011 !!!
The film shows when a patient stays awake by his mind during a surgery. This case is explained in a thriller dramatic story. In which Dr. Jack Harper do a heart transplant surgery to his friend Clay after he has just married Sam. And Clay stays awake during the surgery and discover a lot of facts he didn't see.
Characters:
- Terrence Howard was amazing in this movie with his innocent looking and quite voice
- Hayden Christensen was quite good but he didn't get the character well I think. In some scenes, he was so cold with no reactions at all. This phase may be normal after moving from a hit movies like Star Wars, which depend on the technology and visual aids more than acting, to drama movies which depend mostly on acting and script.
Still in on fiction character
- Jessica Alba, depends on her beauty and charm, which is not wrong, but she was very good in this movie. Specially, as her character is different from other role model characters she has done before.
- Lena Olin was amazing as clay's mother, which is confused between her fear abut her sick son and her worry not to break his heart by refusing his needs.
My Rating
7/10
Could have been done better
