Dark And Suffocating... January 15, 2009
Bindy Sue Fronkuenschtein (under the rubble)
Imagine being buried alive w/ a flashlight and only a 24hr supply of air to breathe. That's what Harry (Adrien Brody) does to his victim in order to extort one million dollars from her wealthy husband. A tough cop w/ something to hide (Maura Tierney), is called upon to get Harry to confess before his captive expires. Like SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, OXYGEN's strength lies in it's dialogue between Tierney and Brody (think Starling and Lecter). These two build a bizarre relationship that threatens the investigation. Harry is evil, yet intriguing and insightful. He probes the cop's mind and zeros in on her most sensitive secret. Of course, this is all taking place while some poor woman suffocates underground! Great characters and some nice twists make OXYGEN an enjoyable thriller...

If you love Maura Tierney like I do, you gotta see this movie. She is extraordinary. I've never been a big fan of Adrien Brody, but he is EXCELLENT in "Oxygen." It is a tight thriller with some really great twists. If you are claustrophobic in the least, make sure you watch this in the space of a large living room. Highly recommended.

THE REAL REVIEW (I'm right here on Earth)
I was not expecting much but what a treat!!
Great movie.
GREAT ACTING ALL AROUND.
Plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing and you'll still guess wrong.
A truly great movie in my opinion.
 Pretty good drama with a pat ending April 24, 2005

"Oxygen" is a crime drama starring Maura Tierney (of NBC's "NewsRadio") as a cop with a troubled personal life investigating a kidnapping. Adrien Brody plays the kidnapper three years before he burst forth as "The Pianist".
The plot follows Tierney's flawed personal decision-making processes and her involvement with the kidnapping investigation, where she forms a bizarre bond with the criminal played by Brody.
This is a cliche-ridden but absorbing crime drama featuring the two charismatic leads and a host of faces familiar from other movies. Brody's psychological portrait of the bad guy is probably the signature characterization in the film although most men (this is a "guy" movie, after all) will be riveted to Tierney, whose one dimensional role is simultaneously pathetic, sexy, vulnerable, and attractive.
There is one wonderful scene very early in the flick -- that is stylistically ripped off from "The French Connection" -- where the female lead chases a bad guy under a train in live camera action. Don't miss this good early feature!
This movie entertained me all the way through until that silly contrived ending, where a bunch of things happen that are so incredible as to be just plain dumb. Check out Brody in "Love The Hard Way", another movie he made where he plays a less than flavorful character.
An Amazing Psychotic Thriller - Awesome Movie January 12, 2005

This movie isn't your normal psychotic thriller type movie. This is a spectacular film starring The Pianist star Adrien Brody. I would highly recommend this film to anybody who appreciates a "Good Movie". With a low price and high quality, you can't go wrong!
