Last Breath

6.3 - Incredible story. Not quite enough here for a feature length film maybe?

The performances are strong, the story is gripping enough, & the underwater photography & cinematography is done incredibly well. But it felt long at only 90ish minutes (not including the 20 minute delay when my screening froze).

The main issue I have is an issue with all documentary film adaptations. The resolution is clear so early, just by the nature of the story being told, that a disappointing level of tension is lost. This story never gets told if it’s not a miracle. So when the climax shifts from person to person & all their actions, dragging the “tension” out, it feels long. And to do so in service of a rushed finale that gives the true follow up & resolution a few sentences laid over landscape shots, I felt a bit cheated.

Great “dad movie,” easy enough to engage in, & it made me want to see the documentary so it more than does its job. I was just a little hopeful for something a little more.

Last Breath (2025) is a wild deep-sea survival flick that’ll have you holding your breath. Intense, claustrophobic, and real AF with insane underwater shots. Not much character drama, but the tension is next level. Worth the watch if you’re into high-stakes thrillers.

had me on edge for sure, and a great performance from all three leads

Awesome movie well done!! Based on a true story!!

pretty wild true story. was also a nice short movie, no unnecessary bits
