Cinema’s latest man-v-nature survival story is a rattling about a diver in trouble that is careful not to apportion blame
Last Breath is the latest in an exponentially expanding subgenre of disaster docs in the style of Kevin Macdonald’s Touching the Void, wherein talking heads narrate the tragic or near-tragic events while staged footage partially reconstructs what happened.

This time it’s deep-sea divers under (literal) pressure when an exploration of the ocean floor off the coast of Scotland goes wrong, and relative youngster Chris Lemons becomes untethered and must survive with limited oxygen.
To reveal much more would spoil the suspense. This is a workmanlike iteration somewhat ploddingly true to its genre, from the style...
