Immerse yourself into the deep sea where a team of expert divers face an impossible challenge to rescue their teammate Chris Lemons. Based on a true life event that occurred in 2012, where Lemons had his umbilical cable severed and became trapped around 300 feet under the North Sea without heat or light, and with only the small amount of breathing gas in his backup tank. Last Breath is absolutely an incredible story how a crew is up against time and severe weather to save Chris. This lifesaving effort puts their master skills and strong teamwork to the test.
Director Alex Parkinson, who directed the documentary of the same name, did remarkable work in recreating the details of the vessel's equipment, the interior of the submersibles and the elaborate diving gear. Parkinson also takes the viewers down into the depths of the dark freezing water to get a better understanding of the highly dangerous conditions deep-sea saturation divers go through to complete underwater tasks. It appears actual footage of the 2012 accident was used in this film, which brings out the intense emotions that will leave you baffled on how he miraculously survived.
This film did not waste time with background stories or flashbacks, it goes straight into the dramatic fight for survival. The strong cast - starring Woody Harrelson as Duncan Allock, Simu Liu as Dave Yussa and Finn Cole as Chris Lemons- brought authenticity to the story. After watching the ending, with scenes of the actual real-life people from the incident, there was no doubt that Harrelson and Cole were the perfect fit to portray these amazing, courageous men.
Last Breath will leave you breathless with astonishment and admiration for these men that are devoted to their crew and their passion for being deep-sea saturation divers.
