Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Ah, January, hallowed dustbin for projects half-baked, too cooked, or both, as in the case of this overstuffed actioner. Read more

Gene Seymour, Newsday: With any luck, The Air I Breathe should be the last gasp of the faux-Altmanesque school of serendipitous storytelling. Read more

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: I can't fault any of the actors for anything other than bad judgment. Their performances are fine, but a good fortune cookie might have told them to stay away from this. Read more

Kyle Smith, New York Post: Brendan Fraser is Pleasure, Sarah Michelle Gellar is Sorrow, Kevin Bacon is Love, Forest Whitaker is Happiness, and the director is Pretension. Read more

Claudia Puig, USA Today: Each story has its moments, but Air lacks an overarching vision. Read more
