The Air I Breathe (2008)

From NetFlix:

Kevin Bacon, Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser and Sarah Michelle
Gellar star in this Jieho Lee-directed drama that mines four
basic human emotions — love, pleasure, sadness and joy — for
inspiration. A banker discovers true happiness; a mobster finds
hope; a celebrity sees life lose its luster; and a doctor wrestles
with matters of the heart that can’t be addressed within the
confines of an operating room. Julie Delpy and Andy Garcia co-star.

This is a VIOLENT movie. I give it a B because the interconnecting of the 4 lives is a bit sloppy. This is the first movie I can remember in which Brendan Fraser has a dark, serious role. At first I thought I could not recommend this movie, but the story held my attention.
