The Awakening (V) (2010)
The filmmakers tried, but this was too bad to finish.
8 October 2011
Netflix lured me in with the description of a character driven thriller and a 4.5 star rating. Sounded right up my alley, however it turned out to be too low budget for me to watch.

I like indie films just fine, but this one is on the level of a student film, and an average one at that.

I'll give them credit for trying to create hip banter between the protagonists, however there are just too many issues with the quality of the production to get past the first 10 minutes.

Poor acting Clichéd dialog Poor sound (music too loud, dialog too low) Choppy editing

One character in particular that is supposed to be menacing is completely unconvincing and just comes off like an overweight doofus.

I cannot recommend this movie.
