Today, with the political atmosphere in flames, which includes protests around the world, and with certain parties waging destruction to further their beliefs, <I>Wake Up</i> is a fitting film that parallels what's happening to some extent.
When activists enter a furniture store before closing and hide within the displays, intent on destruction for their cause, little do they know that the store's security guard, a disgruntled, quiet man, harbors a dark secret. Once he discovers that something's amiss, especially after his brother/colleague dies, all hell breaks loose. From there, it becomes like a <I>SAW</i> film. Traps are set up in the store, there's blood and gore, and everything comes to a predictable conclusion at the end.
<B>Final thoughts</b>:
They got what they deserve.
