Awake

I loved Jonathan Meyers in Dracula. Dont know what happened since. Maybe taking on bad roles since, but know he can do way better than in this movie. The acting in this movie is poor. Really wanted to like it but it just dragged on. Fell asleep before it was over. But still love you Jonathan. I hope someone writes something better for you!

I'm not even 1/2 way in but am distracted by the ever changing facial stitches he has. My god where was editing, makeup, actor, PHOTOS?

One of the most idiotic films...Jonathan Rhys Meyers once was a reasonably decent actor, what the hell happened???Story is like a regurgitated fur ball of bad writing, plot holes and pieces of better movies put together,like a Frankenstein monster...Giving 3 stars ,cause being objective , there are even worse films... Utterly disappointing...

It was okay, but it lacked with the acting. The female actress Diana (Francesca Eastwood), and Frank (Malik Yoba), the detective, were both very cheesy actors. The premise itself is good, and does catch you off guard, but it is also like a 1990's thriller movie. It reminds me of the 1993 film Striking Distance. It was almost too similarly portrayed to movies that have already been made and nothing really set it apart other than the main actor having amnesia.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a really good actor but he has never fulfilled his potential. He was fantastic in the The Tudors and really good in films like Elvis and Bend it Like Beckham but for one reason or another , he has had some serious personal problems and has resorted to making B movies like Awake and I think it's a crying shame .

Rhys Meyers plays a man who wakes up in a hospital bed with no recollection of who he is, and learns that he's wanted by the police for committing a series of murders.

About an hour into this film there is a scene where two cops are talking to each other and one says - "This whole damn thing is starting to spiral out of control . It's a mess." Well I couldn't put it better myself !

The plot to this film is ridiculous. Without giving anything away , it doesn't take a genius to work out who the bad guy is because , as always , it's the one character that gets introduced to the film in the first quarter , for no reason whatsoever other than to give you the heads up and it's so annoying.

This tries to be far too clever for its own good and just ends up being a tangled mess .

It's not terrible. If you are a fan of Rhys Meyer then it's worth watching because he's definitely the best thing about the film and mercifully it's nice and short so the plot won't wind you up for too long and I'm sure within 24 hours I will have completely forgotten about the film , just like the main character.
