There was nothing special about this story. It was entertaining enough to finish it, but there was nothing memorable about it nor anything that would make me want to watch it again.

There were some good things about the film, the music was good and the characters, bar the creepy nerd guy, were likeable. One part of the film that I thought was done especially well was the sudden switch from Win's innocent love confession to the student dying. It was an excellent use of the shock factor but it was disappointing that this was the only shocking thing when the film had so much more potential to strike a chord with the audience.

The plot of the drug trial itself was weak. There were no real consequences as the only person to die was an unnamed student. If they wanted to leave an impact on the audience, one of the main four should have died, particularly Win or Jane. I also believe they should have kept the whole thing as something organised by a large company and the twist should have been that the teacher worked for that company and was grooming kids into taking part in the trial.

In general, the entire thing was rushed. It would have worked better if they had paced it better, perhaps using the story for a mini-series rather than a film. As it revolves around a lack of sleep, by slowing down the pace they could have enhanced the agony of sleep-deprivation very well. However, it would still fall short on delivering a message. Perhaps I missed it, but I don't think the story actually had something to say. The only thing I really got was that sleep is good and I don't think anyone needs to watch this film to understand that.
