from the begin this movie do have a few flaw . the main character play by hayden christensen be a the rich young mogul who have inherit his father considerable wealth and power and and he be struggle to both fill his father shoe and cut the apron string mother ( and co executive ) keep too tight . he also have the problem of have a heart condition and wait in the limbo that be the organ donor registry . there be also minor back story which your first instinct be to mostly ignore that become important later and such a his friendship with his surgeon ( terrence howard ) and his romance with a middle class girl ( jessica alba ) . uncreative story line and but not bad enough to ruin the movie . the only real oy vey . moment be the name of lena olin character . overbear woman name lilith . subtle . the surgical scene be not at all censor . i appreciate that and people who find surgery scene scary might not . the horror of be awake during anesthesia be do well at first . you watch in emotional agony a christensen scream inwardly through the chest incision and the rib spreader . the moment of irony from the trailer then come where while he be one of the unlucky few to be awake during anesthesia and he be also luck in that it help him learn that his surgical team be plan to murder him . the big twist and however and be very predictable and send the film delve into the conspiracy and his memory of the little sign which be there but he and like u and initially miss . there be two more twist at the end involve his relationship with his mother . one be an impressive gesture by olin and which come of a unimpressive due to poor writing . the other be a secret about the family past which seem very tack on and pointless . the initially well do anesthesia awareness drama get lose in the poorly write conspiracy drama . there be a one final attempt to bring it back which fall flat and take the entire movie with it .
