What is singular about Inhale is the intelligent way in which plot and character keep opening up the moral landscape so as to complicate our responses to Paul's multiplying dilemmas. Read full review

Soberly and responsibly, a small but significant film called Inhale, starring the underrated, charismatic and terrifically accomplished Dermot Mulroney, has arrived without fanfare or big-budget ad campaigns to capture some well-deserved attention. Read full review

It takes a while to get there, but Inhale eventually emerges as a tense and morally complex thriller with a devastating twist. Read full review

Icelandic helmer Baltasar Kormakur ("101 Reykjavik," "Jar City") injects notes of hysteria into the script's frenetic pileup of gratuitous cliches, as Dermot Mulroney pushes his square-jawed, desperate hero to near-masochistic extremes. Read full review

It has a great premise: your son is dying and won't get a transplant in time, and the countdown is on. It has good actors in the leads, and the photography is pretty nice, but it doesn't achieve the tone and gripping feel of a thriller or adventure. It seems like it wants to be a mini Traffic, but it just feels like it's always waiting to break through.… Expand
