El último aliento

A group of college friends reunite for a Caribbean scuba diving adventure, exploring a sunken WWII battleship. However, they become trapped in the rusted underwater maze, with great white sharks at every turn.

Joachim Heden delivers a watchable shark tale, but don't expect the likes of The Shallows, 47 Meters Down, The Reef, Open Water, or even Shark Bait, to name a few.

Andrew Prendergast and Nick Saltrese's script is talky for the first half hour, with the usual setup tropes: friends having a good time, water-shark-kill. It's drawn out, but Heden offers some tense moments in the third act, where the digital sharks look on form. The CGI is a mixed bag, at times very convincing. While not as well executed, the underwater settings are at times reminiscent of Mako (2021) and Deep Fear (2023).

There's a lot of reflection with the characters, and the melancholiness matches the odd whimsical soundtrack. Actress Kim Spearman is notable and does a great job with what she's given. Jack Parr has screen presence and is likable and memorable. The film is dedicated to the late Julian Sands, and it's a pity this is one of his posthumous films. Still, in his brief role, he acts the chops off it.

Overall, it's better than The Requin (2022) and countless other low-budget shark films out there.

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.

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.

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.
