Good Enough
Japanese Movie " Awake " is a drama about the riverly in sports-games.
The movie starts out pretty intriguing, hooking the viewer and making them wonder what will happen. The amtosphere is also spot on, dakr and mysterious, giving the feeling that this is going to be an interesting psychological thriller.
However, the ending is A) rushed B) lukewarm, and C) a letdown. The movie was building up to the final showdown and that was it? It could certainly have been better handled.
The performances, on the other hand, were all great by everyone in the cast, especially the two main leads.
So, overall, six out of ten.
