Awake

" At 6:32 this morning, on Thursday the first of November, Clayton Beresford Junior died on my operating table, two and a half hours later, his life was saved. There are no excuses for what we did, there’s no defense, no one to blame but us, we got what we deserved. Clay would have his revenge, and justice would finally be served, but despite all the secrets, despite all the lies, and a terrible loss, one thing really matters now, he....is....awake. "

The twenty-two year old Clay Beresford is a genius of finance secretly in love of his mother's secretary Sam Lockwood. Clay has a complex, expecting recognition from his mother Lilith Beresford that he is as capable as his father was, but he needs heart transplant. When Clay finds a donor compatible with his rare blood, he requests his friend Dr. Jack Harper operate him under the protest of his mother that wants the famous Dr. Jonathan Neyer responsible for the procedure. On the eve of his heart surgery, Clay marries Sam and during the surgery, he experiences an "anesthetic awareness" that leaves him conscious but paralyzed. Clay witnesses the dialogs in the room and discovers dark secrets about his surgery and his new wife.

For an unknown reason, I was deeply motivated to put this in my blog. This film was released in 2007 but not many people know it as it appears. I definately recommend it. Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba and Lena Olin put on a great performance and this movie is definately a keeper for me!
