I did not like Bird Box (another NETFLIX apocalypse movie) and I certainly did not like this one. Apart from Gina Rodriguez's convincing performance (in the latter half) as an insomniac, there's nothing holding the film together. Characters lack motivation, scenes lack tension, the solution(s) to the film's core issues lack credibility. It's a shame because Awake has an intriguing premise. In the hands of a more capable writer-director, this could have turned out a lot better. Even the (occasionally dysfunctional) 'family' angle is poorly developed, which in turn, does away with the emotional connection between viewers and the protagonists. Jennifer Jason Leigh is completely wasted once again (after The Woman in the Window). Oh, and there's some unintentional humour too!
