If you’re planning on having open-heart surgery anytime soon, this movie is strongly NOT recommended. Clay Beresford (Hayden Christensen) is a mini-mogul Donald Trump who has inherited his deceased father’s business. His mother (Lena Olin) doesn’t trust anyone who gets in his path. Enter Sam (Jessica Alba) his girlfriend that he marries on the very night he discovers he needs a heart transplant (insert eye brow raise). Now that she’s Mrs. Trump, should Beresford die, everything would go to her. But thanks to Doctor Jack Harper (Terrence Howard) he doesn’t plan to have this surgery to go wrong, despite the facts he’s had a few malpractice suits against him. He explains that malpractice is just a way for the families to deal with grief so they have someone to blame. But what Doctor Jack didn’t anticipate was that Beresford would be one of the 700 people a year who suffer from “Anesthesia Awareness.” A smart little movie with a twisted plot and unexpected ending. Unfortunately this film will need a defibrillator not to get lost in the Oscar holiday crunch of brilliant films. Two and a half tiaras
