The Last Breath

Every summer, as sure as there will be lazy days at the beach, there will undoubtedly be a shark movie. This year sees a couple, including The Last Breath. Every shark movie since 1975 owes a bucket of chum to Jaws. Whether intentional or not, every movie where a dorsal breaks the surface pays homage to the original fish tale. Jaws is sublime, and its effectiveness lies more in the interest of characterization than waiting for a mechanical monster to pop up. The flaw in most shark films post-Jaws is uninteresting characters and the emphasis on cheap thrills. The Last Breath rides this flaccid wave. The film merely treads water enough to remind audiences that they could instead watch Jaws.

You know what, I didn't expect much with this film, especially after reading the one review that was up, but I was pleasantly surprised,

The acting was pretty good with the exception of Julian Sands awful accent.

If you like decent shark movies, this is for you. If you want a truly good shark movie, I recommend 'Shark Under Paris'. That was terrific. In french with subtitles.

This film, whilst not having the budget of 'Shark Under Paris' is a good, lower budget shark movie.

I love shark movies and will watch most of them, some are so bad even I can't watch them. Some are so bad they're almost good.

This one is definitely amongst the better shark moveis out there.

In the British Virgin Islands, Noah (Jack Parr) and Levi (Julian Sands) discover the wreck of USS Charlotte which sank during WWII. The wreck is pristine after being buried all those years. Noah's college friends, Sam (Kim Spearman), Brett (Alexander Arnold), Riley (Erin Mullen), and Logan (Arlo Carter), have come for a reunion. Arrogant Brett insists on diving the unexplored wreck despite cash-strapped Noah's warning.

This is an average B-movie for the first half, maybe even the first two thirds. It's nothing special. The dive suits restrict the performances. There is the standard annoying character and people being stupid. Then the movie starts piling on some bad writing. When they go back to the surface, the sharks look worst and worst. Finally, there are a couple of really stupid shark scenes. It tries for awhile but it can't escape its bad shark movie genes.

My dad got me hooked on shark movies. I've seen them all, low budget, high budget no budget. Jaws will never be beat. Well My daddy is gone now but i still watch them. So it always amazes me that people are so surprised to see a shark in the ocean. They do live in the ocean correct? Cant stand the one guy, or the idiot, point of fact no one is tolerable. I watched this for Julian. I will say this shark movie took a new turn and headed to a sunken battleship. That was a nice new story. But yeah these people were so surprised about the sharks well we all know sharks don't live in the ocean right? What happened to men being men? Do people think nothing will go wrong? Movie is slow. Long time to see a shark. I'm not the type to quit or lay down and die and think people should be more like that. Been better to twist this around to a shockwaves theme. I am happy to say I think Julian went up on that mountain to die. I fully believe this. I do like the movie was dedicated to him.

It's a solid shark movie. The actors were good and the sharks look real. I don't get the low ratings, considering you go into this movie knowing what you're watching. My only critique would be that they say in the movie "there's never been any sharks in these waters." Dude, it's the Caribbean!!! Florida is the shark attack capital of the world....and it's part of the Caribbean. I live in South Florida and shark attacks are in the news all the time. I have actually almost been attacked by a shark on two occasions while in the Bahamas. One of which I caught on video. Sharks are literally everywhere in those waters, and everyone knows it. But overall, nice shark movie. And the boat captain is from Arachnophobia. I only remember that cause that movie scarred me for life as a kid. Look that one up if you want to be terrified.
