Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
kellyq12 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.
djeka-38458 I like this movie..Little pathetic acting from Jessica and Hayden,but I like movie a lot.Hayden is so aristocrat pretty.Not boring movie at all ,and little bit of sad. It not ordinary movie. Greets from Serbia Sorry on my English Didn't know that Alba is so bad actress, Never watched her before.
michelleannetteh I have not seen this film. I am deciding if I will. It is shocking that this happens in surgery in real life. I have spoken to more than one that have experienced being conscious during major surgery yet paralyzed. I don't understand why their body would not indicate heightened adrenal activity. An increase in pulse, something, surely some sign. People that go through this have it happen for real and can experience extreme Post traumatic stress. It must be beyond terrifying for them. Then, the Australian convicts experienced being cut open while conscious and having their insides explored for medical research. The so-called elite medical industry has something to answer for as to the ethics of the origins of its practice. Not surprised it is comprising the subject matter for a horror film.
Sam AlMan What I liked in this movie:Most of the characters performance and reactions. - The acting staff performance (actors and actresses). - The directing of the movie..very beautiful presentation and appropriate visual views.What I didn't like in this movie:Lot of missing links at the beginning that will appear at the end of the movie..by choosing that timing made me little bored to continue watching. - Plugging the unnecessary scenes and elements (in my point of view) that also caused me giving up and fast forward the movie to skip those scenes at the second time I watched the movie.In overall this movie worth watching for the idea it holds, the beautiful cinematic presentation, and performance of the acting staff.
