The Price of Air

About This Movie

The Price of Air is an interesting blend of action, crime, and drama set in a suburban dystopia. It’s curious how the film paints this seemingly perfect neighborhood, hiding a dark underbelly. Paul, the lead, is this relatable, if not entirely savvy guy, and his journey into the drug trade feels both absurd and eerily familiar. There’s this tension as he grapples with the moral implications versus the lure of easy money, especially with his buddy D. trying to pull him back. The pacing has a nice rhythm that keeps the energy alive—sort of a slow burn that ignites into chaos. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, provide a certain rawness that complements the gritty narrative. It definitely stands out for its exploration of addiction in such a surreal setting.

The film's unique take on suburban life is thought-provoking. · Paul's character development brings a relatable essence to the chaos. · The practical effects lend a gritty realism to the drug deals.
