Last Breath is a film about a "true story that follows seasoned deep-sea divers as they battle the raging elements to rescue their crew mate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface."
The film is directed by Alex Parkinson (Living with Leopards, Lucy the Human Chimp, River Monsters) and stars Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Finn Cole, Cliff Curtis, Mark Bonnar, MyAnna Buring, Josef Altin & Bobby Rainsbury...

As the film begins, the viewer gets a full indoctrination to the life of a deep sea diver, with the risks and rewards, if you can call it that. Nor is this your run-of-the-mill actioner about deep sea diving.
No... this is a rather mundane yet exciting film about a true event that depicts a moment when a diver gets in trouble on the ocean floor and the efforts by all involved to rescue him.
Not to spoil too much, but the rescue mission depressingly became a recovery mission, but not all was meant to be doomed. You'll see.

All in all, Last Breath was a rather gripping film that kept me on the edge of my seat... I don't remember breathing much (no pun intended), and I came away exhausted but entertained by this depiction of a real-life event. With many films, you watch, you enjoy, then you move on. But this film stuck with me and had me thinking.
Harrelson, Liu and Cole delivered in their roles. And I'm going to stick to my desk job...
