In making his Hollywood debut, it looks like Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur (“Jar City”) watched Steven Soderbergh’s “Traffic” before making his film.
“Inhale,” starring Dermot Mulroney, Diane Kruger and Sam Shepard follows a desperate father as he delves into the ugly world of organ trafficking to save his dying daughter’s life. No part of this film looks welcoming as Mexico is filmed in gritty brown, while any scenes not south of the border are given the icy blue filter. That’s how you can tell this is a movie about Serious Issues. We’re sure why the normal routes to help save their daughter’s life aren’t available to them, and we’re sure the film will provide a completely insufficient explanation. At any rate, this looks terrible.
Anyhow, you can see for yourself if Dermot Mulroney finds his Lorenzo’s oil when the film opens on October 22nd.
