La Dernière Plongée

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.

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.

I honestly don't understand the low rating for this movie, of course it will not win any oscars but the movie does not deserve a 4.6 rating.

There is no bad CG in this movie, the shark is really well made and does not look fake like what one hundred percent asylum movies do.

Not sure what the budget for this movie was but its very well made. Of course most of the actors are unknown but they do a great job.

You get the spoiled rich kid, and female doctor student, a bit of drama but not too much and a great design for terror.

The old military ship is perfect with the shark moving around and they are all trapped.

All in all this movie deserves a higher rating and is well worth a rental at least its a very enjoyable shark movie.

When I stumbled upon this 2024 movie, I didn't know what I was in for. All I knew was that it was a new shark-themed movie that I hadn't seen, and thus I opted to sit down and watch it. Yeah, I do have a thing for shark movies, despite the vast majority of them being questionable affairs.

And imagine my surprise when I saw that this movie has Julian Sands on the cast list. He has always been one of my favorite actors, and it was quite a nice surprise to get to sit down and watch this last movie that he starred in. And knowing that he will not be making more movies, sort of made it a bit of an emotional affair to see him on the screen.

Writers Andrew Prendergast and Nick Saltrese put together an enjoyable and entertaining storyline. It was a pretty straightforward storyline, so you can essentially just lean back and watch the action on the screen whilst munching on some snacks. I like the concept of the storyline, which takes your average generic shark-themed storyline and adds a twist to it. I have to say that I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the movie.

The acting performances in the movie were good. The only performer that I was familiar with on the cast list was Julian Sands. It should be noted, though, that they had a good ensemble of actors and actresses for the roles, and they performed well.

Visually then the movie was good. It wasn't the type of shark movie that make usage of stock footage of sharks swimming around, and that spoke well in favor of the movie. The sharks looks real and moves realistic, adding a lot to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

If you enjoy shark movies, like I do, then "The Last Breath" is definitely well-worth sitting down and watching. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 96 minutes that the movie ran for, and it is a movie that I warmly recommend you to sit down and watch.

My rating of director Joachim Hedén's 2024 movie "The Last Breath" lands on a six out of ten stars.

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.
