Why did I watch this movie? I don't like gore and the basic description of this movie makes it clear that it's about a guy who's in surgery and overhears a plot to kill him (he's in a surgical locked in state where he can hear but can't speak/move)! I told myself they wouldn't show much of the actual cutting. WARNING TO OTHERS: They showed a lot of the cutting of flesh. But let's get past that. It was a decent thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat in a good way once they were out of the surgery room. Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba both give strong dramatic performances.

one of films too easy to blame. for the performance of Jessica Alba who is far to be brilliant. for Hayden Christian who seems be under the high expectations. for the old theme from classic fairy tales of love between prince charming and Cinderella. but the film has few great virtues who is not fair to ignore, it is a smart thriller. almost an old fashion one. and it gives to Terrence Howard the chance to do a great role. Lena Olin is perfect as the mother. and the best thing is the manner to use a common fear in a fascinating manner. sure, it is not a masterpiece. but it is one of films who impose questions. who surprise. who reminds the taste of real thriller. and who propose to public a complex puzzle and not a picture. it is a film who could be defined as useful. and this is the most important thing.

Well, I am a great fan of Jessica alba and I really loved this film. The film is slow and keeps it going in an average speed until u witness what u awaited!yeah! This film has got the best twist which amazes us in the end. This film shows the relationship of a mother and an innocent son who is diseased. And the scene in which the mother tries to save her son's life by taking her's is simply classy!!! It also shows the relationship of a friend who betrays. A lot of things happen in this film ....but all u need is to wait with patience. Definitely worth a watch and is highly recommendable. Unlike other films, this film has got a gripping story portraying the darker side of relationships and that is its victory!!!

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.
