I beg of you not to waste your time with this straight to video release. It plays out like a bad episode of House and Days of our Lives combined. Maybe the guy should have had a clue when they wanted to put him out for a colonoscopy. Who knows, maybe that was still part of the dream state that the protagonist finds himself in. Between the just waking up scenes and the home shopping network channel cameos, they could have cut out a good 30 minutes of this movie. Then I would have only wasted 1 hr 20 minutes. Seriously though, look at the results of this study: A retrospective review of medical records of all patients with colon perforations from endoscopy over a 10-yr period. A total of 10,486 colonoscopies were performed over a 10-yr period. There were 20 (0.19%) perforations and two (0.019%) deaths related to colonoscopy and two perforations with no deaths in 49,501 sigmoidoscopies (0.004%). The majority of perforations (65%) occurred in the sigmoid colon. The mean age of the patients was 72 yr (range, 4887 yr). So tell me how does a 40 year old man get a perforated colon that results in a embolism?
Even less believable than the plot is the acting. If I woke up even once with a stitched up hole in my side. I would be in a wheel chair with a broomstick smacking people left and right on my way down to the lobby. PULL OUT THE FREAKING IV! Steven Seagull did it after waking up from a 4 year coma.
A couple of other noted things:
The soundtrack would put Vangelis to sleep.
This should have been billed as drama NOT HORROR.
Rated R for a few surgical shots, partial side nudity,
brief sexual acts and even briefer violence.
