    Last Breath

    ★★★½

    A basic yet suspenseful survival thriller that drags you to the bottom of the ocean floor. Clever underwater sequences emphasise the tension and claustrophobia, while the 3 leads deliver solid performances to pull you deeper into the narrative. The short runtime keeps the plot moving right up to the finale, which hits all the right emotional beats. Last Breath is a simple movie that doesn’t dive too deeply into each character’s backstory, but keeps you engaged for its runtime.

    ★★★

    Loved the performances from Fassbender & Co, and the ending was somewhat satisfying, but the heavy dialogue and slow pacing drained the life outta this.

    ★★★

    Writer/Director/Lead Bren Foster clearly has huge love for 90s Cannon martial arts movies, as this gives off a lot of the same character. It’s almost a hybrid of No Retreat, No Surrender, Sound of Freedom and The Raid…but Australian…and not quite the level of those movies. 

    It’s fairly low budget, which comes across in some of the sound design and cinematography, and it could do with some trimming on the runtime, but the fight scenes are choreographed surprisingly well. There’s some VERY questionable…
