Memorable, crazy movie
How sad is this?
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
A millionaire finds himself awake during heart surgeryStarring Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba and Lena OlinWritten and Directed by Joby HaroldThis is a surprisingly good film although I didn't really fancy it.It's quirky and different from anything I have seen before and the plot kept me intrigued all the way through. There aren't really any brilliant acting performances but they all did just enough to make it a decent movie. Probably the pick of the bunch was Lena Olin who outshone everybody in the acting department. Overall not the best movie I've ever seen but worth a watch. But a few twists and turns.7.5/10
Not a bad film at all. I am surprised some didn't like ti but then I suppose that you can't please everyone.Jessica Alba is outstanding in this and appears sweet and innocent right up to the twist. Did you see it coming? Terrence Howard is very good and again acts the schizophrenic character down brilliantly.Parts of the film are confusing and of course there are plot holes and medical inaccuracies, but this is a movie after all.It is hard to review this film without giving it all away, but I recommend anyone who likes movies with twists to give it a go.
This is my first review on the IMDb, sorry if my English is not good. i just watched this movie and in the end i am totally surprised. After a long time i watched so exiting movie like this, i never wrote any review before but this movie made me write the review about this.. What i like in this movie that you will find a great thriller, original story, no boring part at all and most of the all the surprising twist in the end. I will definitely suggest this movie to all of you and i will also suggest this movie to all my friends and tomorrow i will watch this movie with my mother there is a reason for this you'll know when you'll watch this movie. So my review is getting long so i am ending my review and just want to say that go watch this movie you'll love this like i did and this is now one of the best movies I've ever seen..
If you read any other review about this movie, than just give up and watch something else. If you know something that can spoil you the watching of this movie, than don't watch it. This is not the type of a movie that you can just ask somebody how was it. You need to build your own opinion about this one. For me it was a movie with a good story, and actors did they job well. Especially the main character. I didn't expect Hayden Christensen to be this good, but hi did. And the Jessica Alba wasn't bad either. Actually those two are a good acting couple, they fit. Everything was on it's place, and I think that this one deserves a good review. Go watch it, and prove me wrong.
