This sublimely awful suspense thriller is especially enjoyable for the wildly varied collection of talent taking one for the team.
Hayden Christensen goes slumming as Clayton Bereseford, Jr. a young mogul in business with his mother Lilith (Lena Olin) with whom he shares a too-close-for-comfort relationship.
Unbeknownst to mommy, Christensen is engaged to marry their company assistant Samantha (Jessica Alba) before he goes under the knife for a heart transplant, to be performed by his best friend and surgeon Jack Harper (Terrence Howard).
Jessica Alba blinks like a deer in the headlights as Clayton undergoes the transplant completely awake as the result of a slipshod anesthesiologist.
Periodic suspense gives way to a guffaw-inducing conspiracy climax that puts a punchline on the overlong joke.
Rated R. 78 mins.
