    Product Description
    THE STORIES OF A CLAIRVOYANT GANGSTER, A RISING POP STAR, ANUNLIKELY BANK ROBBER & A DOCTOR DESPERATE TO SAVE THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE. FILLED WITH SURPRISING TWISTS & TURNS, THIS EMPLOYS BOTH BRUTAL VIOLENCE & ACHING POETRY IN A MOVING EXPLORATION OF THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS IN A GRITTY URBAN WORLD.

    Amazon.com
    Every so often a crime drama with delusions of existential grandeur comes ambling down the pike. Sometimes, as in Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run, a philosophically-inclined filmmaker strikes cinematic gold. If video director Jieho Lee's erratic debut falls short of that estimable mark, he can't be faulted for lack of ambition. Set in an anonymous urban metropolis and divided into the four pillars of life--happiness, pleasure, sorrow, and love--The Air I Breathe means to illustrate Henry Ward Beecher's opening epigram: "No emotion, anymore than a wave, can long retain its own individual form." A mild-mannered stockbroker representing happiness (The Last King of Scotland's Forest Whitaker) kickstarts this disquisition into destiny when he decides to take a risk (all four principals are unnamed). Inspired by a coolly confident client who stands for pleasure (Brendan Fraser), he places an unwieldy bet on a fixed race, attracting the attention of sadistic loan shark Fingers (Andy Garcia, doing his best Al Pacino impression). Fraser's character reports to the latter, who manages sorrowful pop star "Trista" (Sarah Michelle Gellar, last seen in the equally strange Southland Tales). The psychic henchman also looks after his employer's motormouth nephew, Tony (an uncharacteristically unconvincing Emile Hirsch). The lovelorn doctor (Kevin Bacon) who treats the hitman after an injury turns to Trista when his best friend's wife (Julie Delpy) falls ill. Whew. Inconsistent acting and clunky dialogue aside, The Air I Breathe infuses conventional genre thrills with introspection to intermittently engaging effect. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    4 out of 5 stars SOMETIMES IT'S WORTH IT TO STEP OUT SIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE!......SOMETIMES IT'S NOT!   January 25, 2010

    This is an interesting film in the 'Crash' vein where four parts mesh together to make up the whole. It's nice to see Brendan Fraser in a decent film again and despite some harsh criticism, this film is very good! The center theme of this film is each of the main characters step outside their normal routine and have mixed results. It's a thought provoking film, that raises a lot of questions about life. Is it better to be safe or live on the edge. I found this film to be better after I thought about it for a while. I like that when a film can do that to me!


    2 out of 5 stars Fingers is a real piece of work   January 18, 2010
    Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
    Big name cast, but this melodrama is a muddled mess in which none of the characters ring true. Neither do any of the situations. Not a single person is likeable, either. In fact, I have no idea what this is really about. Something heavy like how we are all interconnected? Beats me. Andy Garcia is so over the top cruel that I actually smirked during one of his many scream scenes. Watch if you can't find anything else, but be forewarned.


    4 out of 5 stars Good Movie--Somtimes   December 25, 2009
    Steven J. Farinola (Pennsylvania--USA)
    The Movie sometimes doesnt make sense, it comes at you in Bits and Pieces, At the End a Bag full of Money hits Sarah M.Gellar's car--does she go out and get the Money? We don't know. To many unansered questions.


    4 out of 5 stars I can live with that   November 17, 2009

    4 out of 5 stars Smart pretentious mess   July 17, 2009
    H. Schneider (window seat)
    2 out of 2 found this review helpful

    What a magnificent cast: Whitaker (great here!), Bacon (bland), Garcia (diabolical), Fraser (brooding), Hirsch (crazy), Delpy (absent)... Even SM Gellar turns out to be a decent actress when not chasing monsters.
    And what an uneven, messy and yet intelligent film. The right one for a slightly soaked philosophical late night. Pretentious existentialist brooding: what does it all mean?

    4 interrelated crime episodes: Happiness (Whitaker), Pleasure (Fraser), Sorrow (Gellar) and Love (Bacon), connected by common denominator Garcia as evil incarnated, the loan shark, horse race manipulator, protection racketeer, show biz bulldozer.

    Whitaker's is the most solid stand- alone story: the unsatisfied bank clerk who takes a risk and has his life run away with him into scenarios that he would never dream of.
    Fraser is the main philosopher around, involved in 3 of the 4 episodes. He is the psychic strong arm of the bad guys, who has a distaste for his chosen profession. As long as he can see the future, if only for a short span, he never loses a fight. But happiness, if short lived, comes only with the loss of special talents... Pretentious, isn't it.

    Don't watch it when you are entirely sober or when you expect something that makes complete sense. On other days, it is splendid entertainment.
