jessica alba is a great actress. the fact of sam showing her love for clay, with the objective of become rich, was the most incredible... i prefered the part that they were on the bath :) i have no words to express the feelings it's a great movie!

MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..despite one intensely horrifying sequence and a couple of solid performances, Awake fails to deliver the goods..”
by Betty Jo Tucker [ReelTalk]
“..the characters are thinly drawn, [and] the story suffers from gaps in its already weak logic..”
by David Mercier [FilmJudge]
“..not a good movie but it's silly and lively enough to keep most viewers from dozing off..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
