Canada Movie Reviews of The Air I BreatheMovie Review: Before the Bullet Enters
Jieho Lee's first feature fell flat for me, winding up a chore to finish before the video return deadline. Brendan Fraser who is currently in another "Mummy" movie does a decent job as the love-struck hitman. I don't know why his name is Pleasure other than he gets to be intimate with Sorrow before Pleasure is whacked. Sarah Michelle Gellar, fresh from her Golden Globe nomination for TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" eight years ago, plays Sorrow, a rock star also named Trista. She's not actually a very good rock star, but she thinks she is. I wouldn't have bought her CD. She becomes even more sorrowful when her contract is forced into the hands of con-man Fingers played gruffly by Andy Garcia. Kevin Bacon who is in "Frost/Nixon" plays Love, a doctor who loves a doomed researcher named Gina played by the lovely Julie Delphy. Watching Delphy's hospital deathbed scene was the highlight of this depressing film for me. Happiness played by Oscar winner Forest Whitaker from The Last King of Scotland (Widescreen Edition) & Vantage Point (Single-Disc Edition) finds joy just before the bullet enters. This was a depressing flick notable for Brendan Fraser's fine performance and Julie Delphy's beauty. Taxi! |
