About this product

Product Information

Solid performances from an all-star cast bring this ensemble drama to life. As parallel stories unfold, the viewer discovers unlikely connections between several seemingly unrelated people. Though the film is divided up into segments entitled "Happiness," "Pleasure," "Sorrow," and "Love," the mood is melancholy overall. Splattered with violent acts, THE AIR I BREATHE touches on the aforementioned themes and more, pondering the meaning of life and death through characters who live on the edge and risk everything for the thrill of joy, chance, and escape, even if that means death. The film begins with Forest Whitaker playing a bored and frustrated nine-to-fiver who feels stuck in his routine. After taking a huge risk on a whim and losing it all, the doomed businessman has the unlucky fortune of meeting with Brendan Fraser's character, a numb hit-man who feels no remorse until crossing paths with a troubled pop star (Sarah Michelle Gellar). At the center of much of this chaos is Fingers (Andy Garcia), a ruthless villain intent on killing anyone who gets in the way of his success. Though the plot at times feels contrived with all its strategically placed coincidences, writer-director Jieho Lee anchors the film with clever editing and a thoughtful script, which is careful to cover events from multiple points of view. Julie Delpy and Emile Hirsch give dimension to the stories as secondary characters whose actions become central to the plot.

The Air I Breathe
A clumsy clerk overhears the conversation of three coworkers in the toilet about a fix in a horse race, and bets a large amount. He loses the bet and owes the money to the dangerous and powerful mobster Fingers. A gangster has the ability of foreseeing the future and works for Fingers; he is assigned to collect money for the boss with his troublemaker nephew Tony and is beat up by a gang. The manager of the pop-star Trista loses her contract to Fingers without her agreement and she is threatened by the gangster. A doctor seeks a blood donor that might have a rare blood type to save the life of his passion. While some may find a couple of the actors a bit deadpan, they pretty much are solid throughout while consistent in their characterizations. Whitaker and Fraser especially fit that description. Both are quite stoic in their roles, but that's what the story demands. Bacon is a delight and is perfectly cast as a would-be hero. Andy Garcia is a chilling and devilish nemesis throughout, while Emile Hirsch provides some comic relief in his brief appearance. "The Air I Breathe" is, at its heart, a character piece which follows a general theme. Seems simple. On the face of it, it plays out like a crime drama. But there's more to it, and it takes patience and thought to get to the point of it. Not everyone will be able to do that. But it is definitely worth the effort.Read full review

Stellar film from a no-name director.
Before I start, I have to say something: I tend to watch movies haphazardly, meaning I'll watch one for 25 minutes, pause it and then go do something else. Unless I am in a movie theater, I can't spend more than 30 minutes watching a film; except for this one. First thing I noticed while watching this was the sound: it has fantastic music, music that goes from pure drums to orchestrated magic. One thing to note is the dialogue, it's chock full of one-liners that will sadly go unnoticed during a first watch. In summary, four very different characters' lives come together in an unassuming manner and the presentation is delivered in a fantastic manner. The dialogue from each character is pitch-perfect and the camera angles are well-used. I found myself jumping out of my seat at multiple times and could feel my heart pounding in anticipation at times of suspense waiting for the next scene. Each character did a fantastic job with their part, even the goons. This is a stellar movie with quite a stunning cast. The problem with movies such as this one lies in the publicity and director's name. I had never heard if the director until I had watched the film and, sad to say, almost passed on watching this intellectually provocative piece of cinema. I tend to base my initial opinion about movies on other peoples' reviews and that can be a good thing; or a bad thing. This may sound like one of those "embellishing" reviews but I did find a few problems with the film. If you are looking for a movie with deeper meaning or sophisticated explanation, you will not find it here. The dialogue is rich, yes, but the entire plot summary will leave you wanting for more. There are a few flash-backs and they work well from detracting from the current state of things but all in all, there really isn't any ground-breaking life-pondering message in this film. It's a good movie though the ending, as I have said before, will leave you asking for more.Read full review

Enjoyable.
I didn't know what to expect from this film. I thought since the reviews were good I'd give in and buy it. Glad I did! I watched it mainly for Sarah Michelle Gellar, one of my favorite people ever. She shined throughout the entire film. Loved her story! She is a magnificent actress. I also really like Brendan Fraser, still looks as good as he did in Blast from the Past! And Emile Hirsch..hilarious. Even though he had such a small part. The cast was perfect, the film kept my interest and parts of it were gripping. All in all, good to watch, buy it!
