Lower is better
Review
Last Breath is a straight survival thriller about three real deep-sea saturation divers battling a storm and equipment failure to rescue their crewmate trapped hundreds of feet down. The story sticks to heroism, teamwork, and brotherhood with zero identity politics, girlboss moments, or lectures. No political dialogue, no representation sermons, and no activist framing of the dangerous job or the men who do it. It just shows competent guys risking everything to save one of their own.
