This film was fine but just could have been much more compelling.

Obviously the true story being told is incredible and very tense. But the way the film tells the story is just lacking.

The pacing is really odd and the script and acting feels like it's a B movie. The actors are wooden and they seem to have as much urgency and haste as a slug.

The cgi of the ship in the storm is good, and there are some good underwater shots.

It was also interesting to learn that they used some real footage of the real Chris as he was stranded.

I felt the addition of the fiancee just felt clichéd and shoehorned in to try and add more drama.

It's a watchable film but could have been better.

What an amazing true story! I was blown away by the facts of what happened. Everything about it was absolutely terrifying, and the fact that almost nothing came from this afterwords is nothing short of a miracle. I never knew something like this was even possible until I looked up the possibility. The movie itself was done well, with a good amount of laughs and emotions being captured for what it is. Easy to connect and it brought you into a vision of what it was like. I would like to read more into the story and what facts they didnt include into the movie. Overall great movie and I suggest watching.

Watched at AMC on 3-4-2025.

I watched it. I was shocked by it. Seeing all the technology and things they do just to get to the bottom of the sea. It seems as complicated as going to the moon. It's really impressive and hard working. For me, I would have just not have bothered. Lol. Technology would be behind with me on charge. It seems so intense and scary to do that kind of work. Especially in dangerous seas. The scenes were intense and driven with hopes and fears. It's really something to see people work together and depend on each other. I think the only thing this movie is lacking is it felt too short, like it needed something else. But, my criticism lacks creativity since I don't know what could be added to it.

Upon entering the cinema today, I wasn't expecting anything. I just thought, this might be a fun little film to pass the week, till some more big ones release later this month. But after leaving the room, I was utterly flabbergasted. This film was gut-wretchingly tense and kept me on edge throughout the whole screening. These 1h33 felt like 30 minutes at most. Incredible True Story Thriller that won't let go of me for some time probably. Huge respect to all the people, who do this stuff regularly, and I really hope, they get a fortune for each dive, because it wouldn't be worth it if the don't.

Back in 2019, director Alex Parkinson made a documentary about a deep-sea accident that happened in 2012, called LAST BREATH. He now has directed a feature film remake of that same accident, using the same name. It features "one of the most dangerous jobs on Earth", saturation divers who maintain undersea gas lines in the North Sea. The story revolves around a diving team as they begin a routine task: the salty Duncan (Woody Harrelson), the cold but focused David (Simu Liu), and the learning sponge Chris (Finn Cole). After an accident, one of them is left stranded with minutes of air left. It now comes down to a rescue or a recovery mission. I appreciated how the movie goes through the detailed process of the job. I also appreciated how Parkinson wasn't tempted to add things to make it a more entertaining movie, it would've felt inauthentic if he threw a random shark in the mix (unless it actually happened). I loved how realistic the lighting was on the seabed. It was dark AF, making you feel properly anxious and claustrophobic. The best parts of this movie are the moments of extreme tension. As the diver is losing air, you realize you also stopped breathing. LAST BREATH is a well-executed thriller that feels like a very "dad movie", if that makes sense. It has great acting and somewhat corny writing, but a had a great time. Remember, don't forget to breathe. It's a privilege.
