Paul (Josh Evans) is a young hoodlum who falls in with Mr. Ball (Michael Madsen), a crime kingpin marketing a new street drug that he tells Paul is "more addictive than air." With few prospects, Paul agrees to act as Mr. Ball's bagman to help deliver the "product," but he makes the mistake of trying the new drug and soon he's hooked. Paul fails to make his deliveries and later becomes implicated in the murder of his friend and fellow drug runner D (Sticky Fingaz); now he has both the law and Mr. Ball's enforcers on his trail, with only his girlfriend (Charis Michelsen), a fellow addict, on hand to help him. The Price of Air also features Dick Van Patten, Alexis Arquette, and Michelle Phillips; British electronic music star Goldie wrote the film's original score and also played a supporting role. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
Eight Is Enough patriarch Dick Van Patten plays a baddie with a fondness for S&M (yes, you read that right).
-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Amateurish garbage about a would-be drug courier on the run.
-
Gary Mairs, culturevulture.net
The sort of independent film that makes you crave Hollywood.
-
Harry Haun, Film Journal International
Largely incoherent, slung-together, low-budget mess of a movie.
