despite the 'all-star' cast, the plot is is unoriginal and not so creative. If you have seen the film 'crash', then you will notice some similarities, especially the 4 seemingly unrelated lives that are intertwined by fate. the final scene after... Full review

If you remember Magnolia, then this movie will seem real familiar. It's not the same story per say, but the same concept for a movie. Seemingly random people connected in not so random ways...... Full review

On the back of the DVD it says, "a moving exploration of the search for happiness", but it's really about how everyone in that movie is trying to get away from Andy Garcia. The storyline is pretty bad. I don't know... Full review

The revelation here is Fraser, who gives his best performance since "Gods and Monsters.....With his expressive eyes and near-defeated demeanor, Pleasure turns into the most sympathetic of the main characters.....Then there´s Pleasure, brilliantly played by Brendan Fraser.....It is Garcia´s performance, thoroughly evil yet devilishly upstanding, which gives the film a central villain, someone to root against instead of for..... ...

That is the brilliance of "The Air I Breathe": it makes the audience pay attention to timelines, dialogue and background details in order to form the complete picture.
Because this is an intensely narrative film, to talk about one vignette would mean spoiling all of them.

Pretentious and unengaging drama that's not as clever as it thinks it is and never really gels together, despite a couple of strong performances.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is equally good as Sorrow and her relationship with Fraser's character is the only element of the film you actually care about.

The starry urban ensemble The Air I Breathe is full of dumb symbols meaningless shots of irrelevant objects that strain for significance in a movie completely devoid of the same.
The characters too and this is the best bit have symbolic names.

With any luck, "The Air I Breathe" should be the last gasp of the faux-Altmanesque school of serendipitous storytelling. The whole subgenre of we're-all-connected narrative strands has, with few exceptions, proven that Robert Altman was the only filmmaker with the... ... Full Article
