The Air I Breathe

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485851/

This movie had an incredible cast - Kevin Bacon, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, Emile Hirsch, Forest Whitaker, Kelly Hu, and the ageless Sarah Michelle Gellar. You'd think it'd blow you away......but it didn't. It got a 7.7 IMDB rating, but besides the whole "Chinese proverb" gimmick, it's been there, done that. I've seen this type of movie before. It's about 4 characters and how their stories are connected. I can't remember the names of movies that have done this in the past, but I know I've seen something similar. I have to give it credit though; I took down 4 glasses of red wine and expected to pass out, but it kept my interest high. Besides the predictability factor, I felt the movie was a little short. It's still very watchable, but it doesn't live up to the hype. Sorry.
