Liam D It’s a standard procedure thriller but it’s an solid debut for Writer and Director Richard Shepard (Salem, In the Motherhood) with solid performances by Maura Tierney (Welcome to Mooseport) and Adrien Brody (The Singing Detective) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Audience Member The cops were all terrible actors 2.7. Story kept you interested though Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review peter k A fun thriller to put on. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review don s In my quest to see all things Maura Tierney has done, I came across this extremely dated "psychological thriller" that plays more like a TV movie of the week than a theatrical release. Tierney is always good,but she had so little to work with here you really couldn't tell. Brody overplays his role, and the bits about her broken psyche being like his because she enjoys pushing the line between pleasure and pain is more Psych 101 than actual thought process. Ho hum. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Just horrible. corny writing and poor acting. Impossible plot holes and though I tried to get my wife to turn it off 3 times we stuck to the dreary end. Also one of the most boring car chases in screen history! Avoid at all costs Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Oxygen (Richard Shepard, 1999) [originally posted 13Jul2000] You knew I couldn't get through a post this long without at least one thoroughly awful review. Welcome to it. This has a fine premise to it, I must say. A sociopath (Adrien Brody) kidnaps the claustrophobic wife of a millionaire and buries her in a box with about a day's worth of oxygen. A husband-and-wife cop team (Terry Kinney, Maura Tierney) have about that much time to figure out where she's buried. Brody was the only thing worth watching in Summer of Sam. Tierney does well in almost everything. Same with James Naughton, who plays the millionaire, and Paul Calderon as Tierney's on-again off-again partner. But this is bad. Bad, bad, bad. Despite wonderful sociopathy by Brody-once again the only decent thing about the flick (that's starting to become a refrain with me)-a number of subplots are started and never finished, no suspense is ever built up, the relationship between Tierney and her onscreen husband is just silly, the cliched battles between the cops and the bottle are trotted out with absolutely nothing new. All in all it's a jumbled, silly, unwatchable mess that should have been left on the cutting room floor. If you've got two hours to kill, spend them with Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead instead. * Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
