Después de Sin control, esta es otra premisa inteligente estropeada por un director no tan inteligente. Los Weinsteins vuelven a escatimar en el director, pensando que todo lo que necesitan para lograr un gran éxito es un guión interesante y un buen reparto. Y una vez más terminaron con algo entre una bomba de taquilla y un lanzamiento directo a DVD. Despierto tiene una atmósfera distintiva, eso está bien, y hemos visto a Hayden Christensen en peores papeles, pero los «giros dramáticos», que se supone que van a poner la trama patas arriba, son tan torpes como en Sin control, y lo que es peor, a veces son predecibles. Cuantas menos docenas de thrillers americanos hayas visto y más cerveza te tomes antes de ver Despierto, menos problemas tendrás con ella.

A huge surprise that I'll probably be chewing on for a while. I love it when a movie gets me like this and then I have to show it to everyone around me. This will be one of those that everyone around me will have to watch with me. What I like about the movie are the few unexpected twists and the constant intrigue. At the end I would have liked some kind of encounter between Clayton and the traitors. Jessica Alba's performance is good, Hayden Christensen surprisingly even better. A nice thriller. 4.6 stars.

The subject is not bad at all, as it's based on a truly original idea, but in my opinion, it is too directed and played for effect. The same can be said about the screenplay. For the film to work in my eyes, it would have to abandon the traditional Hollywood thriller framework and have a much higher-quality cast. Like this, it is a stylish but pretentious game, where logic suffers in some moments. Overall impression: 45%.

A good premise buried by a run-of-the-mill directorial approach and a shabby script that delivers every twist a moment after it can be predicted. The way it squanders its potential pissed me off, really. And on top of that, and let’s be honest, the actors aren’t that great, so, instead of living characters, you only get chess pieces that the screenwriter moves according to a previously drawn plan (which, as I’ve already mentioned, is not that hard to predict). As a result, Awake is a modern sterile thriller without a hint of atmosphere that at times shows great potential. The creativity began and ended on one point: the initial premise. Had it been longer, the rating would be lower.

I have read a few comments here and they all mostly agree on the fact that the topic of the movie was not bad at all. If only it was made by someone with little more experience who can turn a good topic into a great thriller. The acting was ok but I kind of missed a bit more of the drama. The end is way over the top, but the story was made to shock and it actually succeeded in doing so. Although I still can’t shake off the feeling that this was just an average job.
