‘Last Breath’ Just Proved Something, and Hollywood Needs To Take Notice

2025's Last Breath, directed by Alex Parkinson and starring Woody Harrelson, Finn Cole, and Simu Liu, tells the harrowing story of Chris Lemons, a diver who falls to the bottom of the North Sea while fixing a gas line. As Chris runs out of oxygen, it's a race against time to save his life. Last Breath is not only a tense film, but it's also one based on what really happened to the actual Chris Lemons, as shown in the 2019 documentary also titled Last Breath. Hollywood loves making movies based on real-life disasters, but the crew behind the filmresisted the urge to make an exaggerated film filled with CGI to tell a more melodramatic story. Instead, Last Breath's story stays simple and immediate by making nearly everything the audience sees so very real.
