| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerMakes one want to assume a state of mind opposite to the film's title. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckChristensen delivers a low-key performance that is ultimately quite appealing, and he's well matched by the beautiful Alba. Olin brings unexpected depths to what could have been a stock role, and Terrence Howard uses his easy ability to project innate decency to excellent effect. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyGo see Awake fully-caffeinated with a bunch of friends willing to yell back at the screen and cheer for Lena Olin whenever she appears. It's the right way to enjoy such an unintentionally camp piece of crap. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeWriter-director Joby Harold's debut is stylishly self-assured and suspenseful enough to quicken the pulse. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAccuracy is not the point. Suspense is. And from the moment Clay realizes he is not fully under anesthesia and can hear and feel everything that is happening, the movie had me. |
| What I Watched TonightMatt HudsonA gripping thriller with a good twist and a fantastic medical plot device, Awake is a good watch and succeeds in providing an uneasy feeling as the knives go in... |
| ShockTillYouDrop.comEdward DouglasWith better actors in the two main roles, this movie would probably have been great, but with Christensen and Alba, it's just okay. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA would-be psychological thriller without much psychology and even fewer thrills, Awake is more likely to put you to sleep. |
