Show more >> Oxy Morons pulls you into a whirlwind of chaos, thanks to its protagonist Wayne Poss, who finds himself in over his head after a botched drug smuggling job. The film does a commendable job of setting up its premise, and the tension is palpable as Wayne tries to juggle his day job with his shady dealings. However, despite its intriguing setup, there are moments where the plot feels predictable, and some character arcs lack depth. The performances are solid, but at times they struggle against the film's pacing, which can feel rushed. There are flashes of brilliance, particularly in the film's exploration of moral dilemmas, but they occasionally get overshadowed by clichés. While Oxy Morons may not break new ground, it offers enough thrills and a thought-provoking narrative to keep viewers entertained. It's worth a watch, especially for fans of crime dramas, but don’t expect a groundbreaking experience. Show less
