US 2007. Icon/Greenestreet Films. 85m. ws

A heart transplant patient suffers from "Anesthesia Awareness", and overhears a murder plot at the operating table, in his state of semi-consciousness.
Improbable but interesting medical thriller, cleverly assembled in understated Hitchcockian/Les Diaboliques manner, but suffering from rather unengaging characters.
