[Review] Last Breath (5.5/10)

It's always good to see someone from a popular series like "Peaky Blinders" to get a shot with big Hollywood stars in a bigger budgeted movie. 

I thought Finn Cole was very serviceable even though there really wasn't much acting involved inside a heavy duty dive suit. Whereas more of the acting came from Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu, and everyone else onboard the tanker. But even then, there wasn't really much to do; but all due respect to Harrelson who didn't simply just phone it in.

Alex Parkinson really milked every scene to make the movie just above an hour and a half. Scenes felt draggy in creating that deep, underwater, suffocating feel; to a point where I have lost complete interest. 

The overall tone was a typical kind for a sort of a disaster movie based off of real events.
