"Stay Awake" more like "try to stay awake" encapsulates the struggle viewers face enduring this cinematic journey. From start to finish, the film feels like an endurance test rather than an engaging experience. With a rating of 4/10, its sluggish pace and lack of excitement make it a Herculean task to maintain attention throughout its unnecessarily protracted runtime. One can't help but wonder if the story could have been more effectively told in a concise 45-minute TV special, saving audiences from the arduous journey of sitting through a drawn-out narrative lacking in substance. Despite hints of potential, "Stay Awake" fails to deliver compelling plot development, leaving viewers grappling with boredom and longing for a more captivating experience.
