Oxygen (1999)
6/10
Interesting concept, poor script.
3 April 2003
This is not a good movie, but is compelling enough to sit through. There are two reasons for this: 1) Adrien Brody is absolutely brilliant. I have nothing bad to say on his part. 2) The idea was interesting. Quite frankly, if the film was a cinema release, and had a bigger budget, it would have been a worthwhile thriller. But it didn't.

I would recommend this for any Brody fans. This is probably the most interesting role he has ever played, and he does it well. He just shouldn't be an evil freak, but there you have it! He is! And it was impossible for me to hate him because he is so amazing to watch.

However, stay away if you are one who tends to try and make sense of a B-grader. For you will end up confused and irritated. The rest of the cast was pretty shocking, and they should stick to TV.

Amusing enough for a lazy rainy day.
