On a quiet evening, a shabby beige sedan speeds down a country highway. Dust and gravel fly through the air when suddenly the car slides out of control into a ravine. Later a man wakes up in a hospital bed with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. His nurse Diana (Francesca Eastwood) is unable to find any identification and refers to him as John Doe (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). The police barge into the hospital, accusing John of being a serial killer responsible for the murder of several young women in the area. As the sergeant ushers John into a private room for questioning, he manages to escape with the help of Diana, who is convinced of his innocence. The fugitives then set off for the last crime scene in search of clues and answers to clear John's name but the benevolent nurse will soon uncover the shocking truth behind the amnesiac's identity and the web of deceit that will lead him to a final fight for his survival.
My Thoughts
Awake is an exciting thriller. It centers around a nurse named Diana and her patient. The man she is caring for wakes up from an accident with no memory of who he is. Soon, the police burst in declaring him a serial killer. Diana believes in his innocence and helps him escape. The two set out to prove his innocence. However, the deeper they dig, the more Diana fears she may have made a mistake.
This was an interesting film with a great twist at the end. There were a few spots where it was a bit slow, but overall it was an enjoyable film with a stellar cast. If you'd like to check out Awake for yourself, you can find it online at Amazon or in stores nationwide.
