Awake [2007] Movie Reviews on CinemaClock

To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. I was thrilled by every aspect of this movie. The acting was excellent. The writing was top notch. The directing was perfect. The music "themes" created the perfect background. But the true genius behind this movie is the editing. The way this drama-thriller was pieced together showed a real master touch. The pace is dead on, the mood is just right. This is what going to the movies should be all about: an escape from every day life, a journey that stays with you and keeps you talking about it in amazement... all the way home! I was tired from a long day at the office, and the only reason I chose this movie was because of its convenient start time. Being tired raised the bar, as the movie had to be very good and very well paced to keep my interest. And boy was it ever. I won't give any spoilers, as I certainly had not heard anything about this movie, either positive or negative, except for seeing the short trailer. So I want you to have the same experience I had, which is to see this flick without any idea of what you are about to see. Do yourself a favor: don't talk to people who have seen it, and try not to watch or read any interviews with the stars of the movie. Just go and see it. You won't regret it.
