It is often a challenge for biographical films to stand out if they are covering the same material that was recently depicted in a documentary. Although audiences often seek out historical dramas in order to learn about interesting events, comparing a fictional depiction to the real thing usually ends up doing more favors to the documentary. Last Breath was an acclaimed documentary that explored one of the most thrilling and unprecedented rescue missions in the history of deep-sea diving. The documentary version contained authentic footage of the heroic efforts by two divers to save their companion from a brutal death. However,the film version ofLast Breath offers an equally thrilling experience due to the detail-oriented recreation of the aquatic mission.
