Pretty good drama with a pat ending
"Oxygen" is a crime drama starring Maura Tierney (of NBC's "NewsRadio") as a cop with a troubled personal life investigating a kidnapping. Adrien Brody plays the kidnapper three years before he burst forth as "The Pianist". <
> <
>The plot follows Tierney's flawed personal decision-making processes and her involvement with the kidnapping investigation, where she forms a bizarre bond with the criminal played by Brody. <
> <
>This is a cliche-ridden but absorbing crime drama featuring the two charismatic leads and a host of faces familiar from other movies. Brody's psychological portrait of the bad guy is probably the signature characterization in the film although most men (this is a "guy" movie, after all) will be riveted to Tierney, whose one dimensional role is simultaneously pathetic, sexy, vulnerable, and attractive. <
> <
>There is one wonderful scene very early in the flick -- that is stylistically ripped off from "The French Connection" -- where the female lead chases a bad guy under a train in live camera action. Don't miss this good early feature! <
> <
>This movie entertained me all the way through until that silly contrived ending, where a bunch of things happen that are so incredible as to be just plain dumb. Check out Brody in "Love The Hard Way", another movie he made where he plays a less than flavorful character.

An Amazing Psychotic Thriller - Awesome Movie
This movie isn't your normal psychotic thriller type movie. This is a spectacular film starring The Pianist star Adrien Brody. I would highly recommend this film to anybody who appreciates a "Good Movie". With a low price and high quality, you can't go wrong!

Wish it was a book!
Your typical serial killer flick. If you enjoy serial killers you will enjoy this movie. The movie is average, but the serial killer is a bit like Houdini. He escapes by odd and creepy methods. He will surprise you. This killer also likes to play vebal head games with cops. Particularly Maura Tierney. Her character really interested me. A woman cop married to the chief. She has an alcahol problem as well as some sexual issues and self injury secrets. The movie was good, but I would love to read the novel for more depth of the characters.
