Manhattan psychics teacher Luke Perry (as Martin "Marty" Devoe) becomes increasing frustrated with efforts to find an organ donor for pretty full-lipped Francie Swift (as Chrystie). His wife is dying from Cystic Fibrosis and needs a lung transplant desperately. Donors are rare in her AB blood type, so Mr. Perry decides to take matters into his own hands. He considers "buying" an organ on the black market, but the Chinese aren't offering lungs to Americans. Volunteering to solicit blood donations leads Perry to sexy AB type Gia Carides (as Gale Pullman); but, how far will they go to secure "Lifebreath" for Ms. Swift?
This is an unexpectedly taut thriller from new director P.J. Posner, who keeps it intriguing throughout. The cast is excellent, with Perry particularly impressive in the lead. His loving, conflicted husband is able to carry the film, grabbing your interest while walking a moral tightrope. Around this time, Perry temporarily left his "90210" TV address to try big screen movie stardom; it didn't happen, but "Lifebreath" showed his potential. Swift's sickly wife is more subtly impressive, as you'll discern by watching expressions and considering her motives carefully. The ending disappoints, but Jeremy Davenport's jazzy tune helps.

When I watched this movie long time ago, it deeply impressed me, mostly because of the ending. As other people have noted, it's very shocking, but to me, it totally made sense. Later, a relative of mine developed CF, I developed another lung disease and suddenly, the movie became very very realistic. I know people won't like to believe it, but even now, 2020, patients with lung diseases have very problematic existence. And yes, it is disgusting, it is sad, it is sometimes sexless, it's very hard for the relatives and most of all, the fight is for every breath. So that part of the movie is very realistic. Now, the transplant part is not realistic - double lungs transplants are hard, rare, and as a whole, it's complicated. But it's very unlikely what happened in the movie. What happened at the end, however, is very likely. I'll explain it like this - not being able to breath makes you a different person. You have to measure every movement, every desire, every thought. And if you suddenly become normal again - you become a new person. In her case, she was angry, but she didn't have a way to express it. So when she finally could express it, this was her revenge for the whole situation. A lot of people will see what he did as an act of love, but very little people would accept that kind of act of "love". So yeah, I've seen this movie long long ago, but I still have the final scence in front of my eyes. It's a hard movie to watch, but it has its value, if you want to glimpse into the life of people with lung diseases.
A very good movie with the beautiful Francie Swift and the talented Luke Perry. very interesting and unusual argument, very well performed until the end. The end of the movie is not I spared, is an end that the viewer leaves with an unpleasant taste throughout the plot and content of the movie. But in any case, this judgment is at the discretion of each one.
I think that I've watched well over 500 000 movies and this ranks well above most of them.
It's one of the best movies I've ever watched and look forward to seeing more films in this style.
I love the writing, story and everything about it.
With a bigger budget, more publicity would have taken this to be a more well known film.
Wow...
When you want something that is fresh and doesn't contain Brad Pitt or Angelie Jolie - try this one.
