  interesting

  by antzilla

  I liked the movie, but unless you are very grossed out by blood and surgical procedures, it is more like a mystery or a thriller than a real horror or suspense. It didn't have any of those moments that crept up on you and then jumped out at you. It was a good movie, with good acting, but one thing I noticed was that it didn't earn its "R" rating. I only heard slight profanity, and the medical part was just as bad as any Discovery Health show. There were some disturbing moments, but I wouldn't go to this movie if you are looking for a scare, but more of a thrilling mystery, like I mentioned before.

  expect the unexpected....and be prepared!!!

  by chrisinfl

  I went to this movie not expecting much, especially with a run time of under 1 hour 20 minutes; but nothing prepared me for what I was about to encounter in the operating room scene.
  Sure most people have heard of this unexplainable incidence of people who suffer the horror of not being put to sleep, even after being given anesthesia, but to actually see someone (yes, i know what your thinking, this is only a movie) experience, and during an open-heart surgery, it left me soul searching and searching for a barf bag!
  Lets just say the movie has an excellent plot, and the things people would do for money shows no limits, to be sure.
  Just be prepared for some heart-wrenching reality after leaving this one.

  Shocking Twist!

  by shanfinn

  Great directorial debut for Joby Harold! This movie had a shocking twist and a short and to the point script. The the storyline didn't need to drag on and on because it pulls you in from the first few minutes. Acting by Christensen, Alba, Olin and Howard was first rate - go see this film!

  a cheesy thriller.

  by rosettamarie

  So I thought this movie held a lot of promise with its storyline, but it ended up being redundant, poorly written, and rather cheesy. The film initially progresses very slowly with an unecessary abundance of lusty scenes. There's a pretty good twist about halfway through, but it doesn't make up for the cheap way in which Clay's thoughts are conveyed to us during his "anesthesia awareness". Also, there's too much grappling with life and death involved that the film gets to be repetitive and lacking in any value. It ends decently though, with a nice tie-in regarding the awareness of the preciousness of one's own life. Overall, however, I wasn't impressed.

  Pretty good...

  by D_Archuleta_luver21

  I thought the movie was decent, it's more of a suspenful story than a horror. It starts off kinda slow but I liked the ending.

  A must see for young men

  by FRONT_ROW_

  This movie sends a message I happen to love......( but I'm not going to spoil it). It's quite alarming and fun, but your not going to remember it next week.... I was entertained but I've come to expect more....worth a matinee on a slow day

  Excellent Movie

  by Grizzly Bear

  We missed this movie in the theater. We watched it last week on DVD. It was very suspensefull and suprising. I was suprised to read the negative reviews. I thought the premise was interesting and the story unusual. I kept thinking, I hope I don't have to have surgery soon. During the movie I asked my whi daughter had previously seen it, if the entire was going to be about him screaming because of the surgery. She said just watch the movie Dad. Thankfully there was more to the movie than watchg Hayden Christensen scream because of the pain. My wife picked it out and I wasn't thrilled about watching it but the movie was much better than I expected.

  Great Film!

  by c_paredero

  this was by far one of the better movies i've seen in a long while....with a small hype, i wasn't expecting much, however i found that this movie really interested me and the whole rest of the theater. Great plot, kept me on the edge of my seat.....plus jessica alba is in it =]
  
  at the end of the movie, i looked around to see everyone nodding their head in aproval, followed by a great applause.

  Wait for DVD (don't bother with HD/Blu-Ray)!

  by zcycl1052

  The trailers not only mislead us, they were actually better then the product they were trailing. Most people will figure out the "Gotcha" plot twist way before the movie gets there and if you hold on for that expecting a spectacular closing, WRONG! At least one actor in this picture should have done better, can't blame the others for what they lack.
