Inhale Reviews
- "'Inhale' is a well-written, shrewdly produced thriller, but the audience for the film -- which centers on an anguished father's (brilliantly played by Dermot Mulroney) desperate journey to save his daughter's life -- might be limited by the uncomfortable subject matter of illegal organ harvesting. 'Inhale' is a most visceral movie, and that includes a few unnecessary sequences in which you get close-ups of a dying child, a shattered leg, a wound being sutured and, finally, human lungs about to be extracted from a still-living being....In this compact 83-minute movie, they more than make their case about the illegal sales of human organs within the genre confines of a tightly wound thriller."—Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter
- "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."—Rex Reed of The New York Observerhttp://www.observer.com/2010/culture/more-mulroney-please-dermot-mulroney-exceptional-worthy-inhale
- "Everything is boiled down to its basest elements, from the one-note villains to the sub-Traffic color-coding (rotting greens for Mexico; cool blues for the DA’s home; neutral tones for New Mexico government offices). But even with the grungy aesthetics and earnest preaching, Inhale is really nothing but crass topical exploitation, milking this social issue for every salacious drop. The forgotten poor may be the nominal victims here, preyed upon by those in both the halls of power and dingy barroom basements, but it’s really the audience who suffers most from such gratuitously titillating, empty-headed twaddle."—Time Out New Yorkhttp://newyork.timeout.com/articles/film/90082/inhale-film-review
