Given Jonathan Rhys Meyer's amnesiac "John" is a man accused of murder, that he's on the run trying to solve the crime he is accused of, and that he spends a lot of time in the company of a woman sometimes in handcuffs, this mystery thriller's plot could be likened to The 39 Steps, but Awake is a far, far lesser film than that with clichéd writing, a culprit you recognise as the culprit the split second they first appear on screen, and a nebulous plot that is really just ninety tired minutes of filler until "John" finally - no, not remembers - solves the mystery by doing a search on Wikipedia.
