Awareness taps into a, by now, well worn, supernatural/superhero trope but does so with enough intimacy and depth, to make it inherently watchable. There's the predictable superhero, action formula you would expect, with something of an opaque, good guy bad guy set up. What really sets this production apart however, is the depth of characterisation. You get a real sense of the relationship between the key character and his adoptive father, that lifts this film above many of its emotionally shallower, counterparts. Acting is decent too but then it comes with a cast of mostly well known, Spanish actors. Narrative is capably scripted and thoughtful, dodging most of the trite cliches, you might expect in a film, of this kind. In summary, an action movie with a soul. It has subs but this was hardly an impediment, to this reviewers enjoyment. Well worth your time.

He's going to do something crazy for her, something to make her feel vital again, to make her heart beat and youthfulness pulsate. The crazy thing? Leave her. The risk with electroshock ?
