Woody Harrelson’s Last Breath: A Harrowing Fight for Survival
Last Breath is a survival thriller movie that is a remake of a 2019 documentary by Alex Parkinson and Richard da Costa. Parkinson also directed the 2025 movie with a script he co-wrote with Mitchell LaFortune and David Brooks. Aside from Harrelson, the movie also stars Peaky Blinders‘ Finn Cole and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Simu Liu as three divers on a repair mission deep underwater in the North Sea.
However, the mission goes sideways during a storm while Chris Lemons (Finn Cole) and Dave Yuasa (Simu Liu) are diving hundreds of feet below the water’s surface, causing Chris to drift away with only ten minutes’ worth of oxygen left in his suit. The repair mission becomes a rescue mission as Duncan Allock (Woody Harrelson) and Dave try to find Chris. Also helping them are Captain Andre Jenson (Cliff Curtis) and dive supervisor Craig (Mark Bonner).
Based on the trailer below, we can’t help but hold our breath due to the intensity of what’s happening.
In these types of movies, it’s common to see characters argue about the situation. Dave, the levelheaded one, knew they were going to be too late and that it would be “a body recovery now,” even though he had promised Chris that he would come back to rescue him. Of course, there’s always one character who will try to do the impossible. Duncan disagreed and said, “No, it’s not. I’m not losing a diver today.”
Last Breath is out now.
