Awake


Awake mildly kept me in that such state.  A young man whose father has died and left him half the city because he's wealthy, has a bad heart.  On top of that he's a very rare blood type so he's been on a donors list for over a year.
Finally a heart comes through and there's an arguement that ensues between him and his mother about who should perform the surgery.
His friend who already saved his life once, or the best surgeon money can buy. 

In the middle of all this is his love interest played by Jessica Alba who he's been engaged to for 6 months but his mother doesn't know.
moving forward to the surgery, a giant conspiracy is going on and after they put him under annestisia, he's still concious but paralyzed and can't do anything about it. 
There's a somewhat predictable swerve towards the end but I'll leave that to the imagination.  Not really scary but if you had a hard time watching the opening scene in SAW IV then you may have a hard time watching a lot of scenes in this movie.  Not really scary aside from the thought of being awake and able to feel pain during an open heart surgery.
Average at best,
5/1
