Strong violence, sexual references and coarse language
| Director: | Jieho Lee |
| Actors: | Kevin Bacon, Julie Delpy, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Clark Gregg, Emile Hirsch, Forest Whitaker, Kelly Hu |
Forever linked together by ruthless crime boss Fingers (Andy Garcia) and a series of unpredictable twists of fate, the characters of The Air I Breathe weave together in an existential study in luck, both good and bad. Director Jieho Lee divides this vast tale into four distinct threads: a timid businessman (Forest Whitaker) bets his life on a horse race afetr he discovers the fix is in; a fragile pop star (Sarah Michelle Gellar) finds her management contract unexpectedly in jeopardy; a gangster (Brendan Fraser) who sees the future must decide whether to follow his visions; and a doctor (Kevin Bacon) tries to save the love of his life from a deadly injury.

the acting, characters and filming was great. Let down by an unconvincing and B grade storyline which was a pity. Crash and Babel brought all of the character strands together much better. Not a bad movie though.

One of the worst movies ever. All great actors, very bad script and story.

This is not even close to the standard of other similar films such as 21 grams. The storylines especially that the first one were not developed enough to even make sense. It just goes to show you cannot rely upon previews or hype as this was very disappointing.

alot of well known actors wouldnt watch again but glad i ticked it off my list. Brendan fraser plays a great character he made the film.

This movie went on and seemed as though it ended ten times. Most of the characters got killed off to save one selfish, undeserving girl. There was needless violence, that even I as a War Movie fan, thought pointless and over emphasised. After all that, this movie deserves a "D" Grade rating and is in general, a poor choice.

I didn't know what to expect when I started watching this movie... but I ended up really enjoying it. It was beautifully put together. So very sad in some aspects but definitely worth a watch.... it does make you think.

Just like Babel. Overrated and Boring. Only interesting characters are Brendan Fraser and Andy Garcia.

I enjoyed this one. Its the same sort of movie as Go and Crash, which I also enjoyed.
Definately worth the watch.

A good movie. Took a bit of time get into it, but in the end it all came together in a gripping ending when the four story lines merged.

Despite the mauling from the critics, I actually enjoyed this movie. How on earth critics can ravage this movie and then sing the praises of the movie Crash I'll never understand. They are very similar movies. I think I preferred this one because it had a very understated performance by Brendan Fraser.

not bad, except for Kevin Bacon's acting... dodgy.

this is a strange movie at first and takes a bit of time to get going but by the end of the movie I thought how clever it was and how they are all intertwined...a bit like four degrees of separation. Worth watching

Disturbing and dark but quite well done. Worth a look.
