Awake Reviews
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Possibly the worst movie of 2007, and certainly the worst movie ever made featuring the spirits of dying people discussing their futures and sharing mortal flashbacks.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie tries going for a laugh or two. It even makes stabs at irony. But since none of the story is suspenseful, remotely believable, or, at the very least, cheaply entertaining, who cares?
Newsday
Jan Stuart
If you have an ax to grind with someone who harbors a morbid fear of surgery, you couldn't design a better revenge than taking them to see Awake.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Awake is filled with risible medical behavior (the sterility of the operating room is repeatedly compromised) and a horizontal Mr. Christensen screaming variations on "Oh no, I can feel that!"
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Awake feels like an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode unfolding in slow motion, with each new revelation coming a reel or two after viewers have guessed it.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
[Joby] Harold's script has a surprise or three in it, a biggy near the end. But he's a director with no poker face. He tips his hand early and often.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The way characters interact with each other and the manner in which the master plan unfolds will stretch the credulity of even the most generous viewer.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Accuracy is not the point. Suspense is. And from the moment Clay realizes he is not fully under anesthesia and can hear and feel everything that is happening, the movie had me.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
The twist-happy screenplay holds together, and the actors around Christensen are better than they have to be: not only reliable hands like Lena Olin and Arliss Howard, but also a perfectly cast Jessica Alba, smartly playing with and against her looks.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Makes one want to assume a state of mind opposite to the film's title.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Awake is a pleasing if negligible diversion.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Debuting writer-director Joby Harold's thriller does have an attention-getting plot hook, but piles on too many narrative gimmicks to maintain suspense or credibility.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Sometimes in their urgency to prevent critics from seeing their dreck, film companies throw out the baby with the bathwater. Such is the case with this nifty little thriller.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
Is this goofy, misguided movie enough to keep you "Awake?"Probably, but only if you're laughing during this unintentionally comical drama.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
The movie offers twist upon twist upon twist, with no actual plot.
L.A. Weekly
Jim Ridley
A medical thriller with a noggin full of novocaine, this shocker about a botched heart surgery evidently suffered brain surgery to match.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
Unloads a volley of plot twists that'll have you slapping your head in disbelief, provided you haven't figured them out by the end of Act I.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
While much of "Awake" simply doesn't work, there are just enough things on display that do to make you wish that someone had taken the time to elaborate on them

Susan Granger
Admittedly mediocre, this psychological thriller is nevertheless gripping in its reality-based terror.
Reno News and Review
Bob Grimm
Engages the viewer from start to finish and boasts a handful of decent performances. Crazy but fun.
