THE LAST BREATH MOVIE REVIEW
Back in ye olden days, a ship would go out to see and often return with tales of adventure and massive booty. But alas, what if the captain and the hardy crew did not return to dock? Could the ship have sank, and what of the hearty crew? Perhaps a beast of the sea sank its teeth into their flesh and bone? Sometimes the navigators of the sea are able to find these ships and search their remains, and somethings those ancient ships are actually WWII battleships. Directed by Joachim Hedén and featuring a posthumous performance by legendary character actor Julian Sands, The Last Breath tells the tale of five friends. They are taking a chance on adventure with a scuba tour of a sunken ship found by Levi (Julian Sands) and Noah (Jack Parr). What would seem completely unsafe could result in beaucoup bucks for Levi and Noah. They could pay all their debts and maybe one of them, Sam (Kim Spearman), will find that true wealth is in falling back in love with your ex. In the labyrinth of historial steel, Noah and his fellow scuba diving friends have to band together in order to find a way out before they either drown or become fish food for great white sharks. Brad, Melina, and Frank take to the high seas of opinions: What’s better, stock footage of sharks spliced into film? CGI fins and gills? Or practice puppets being waved around by the stunt team? Have a listen and you decide!
DIRECTED BY: Joachim Hedén
STARRING: Kim Spearman, Jack Parr, Alexander Arnold, Erin Mullen, Arlo Carter, Julian Sands, Maxime Durand, Hayden Grech
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
