IMDb plot summary: 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.
Directed by Alex Parkinson. Stars Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, and Finn Cole.
Last Breath follows a team of mechanic divers who work on ocean bottom pipes. One day on the job, something goes horribly wrong and one of the mechanics gets stuck below, while his coworkers try to retrieve him. This is a pretty solid little thriller. I like the small ways in which it breaks from genre tropes -- for example, there's nobody here seriously arguing that it's too expensive to save the man's life. They just don't know how to bring him back. It also does a good job of bringing out the terrifying enormousness of the ocean. It's the exact right length for this kind of single-purpose single-location horror film, it keeps the tension going without wearing thin. Overall, not the best in its genre but fully watchable.
