Peaky Blinders Star Finn Cole Reveals Why to Watch Last Breath: ‘It’s nothing short of a miracle’




JustWatch spoke to acclaimed British actor Finn Cole on his latest film Last Breath, a gripping true survival story that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

Last Breath is a harrowing and exciting thriller that follows the true story of a commercial diver trapped at the bottom of the North Sea. With only five minutes of oxygen remaining, but with no chance of rescue for more than 30 minutes, this intense experience chronicles the extraordinary rescue mission that defied all odds. The film is based on the 2019 documentary of the same name.

Cole plays Chris Lemons, the protagonist diver trapped and forced to fight for his life. The Kingston-born actor is best known for his breakout role as Michael Gray in the hit BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders (2014–2022). In the show created by Steven Knight, Cole portrayed the ambitious and calculating cousin of the Shelby family and starred alongside Cillian Murphy and the late Helen McCrory.

Cole has also starred as Joshua “J” Cody in the critically acclaimed TNT series Animal Kingdom (2016–2022). His movie credits include Dreamland (2019) alongside Margot Robbie, Here Are the Young Men (2020), and the ninth movie in the Fast and Furious franchise, F9: The Fast Saga (2021).

In an interview with JustWatch, the global web page that tracks the top streaming movies and TV shows, Cole expressed his enthusiasm for partaking in the project:

“Even before getting the script for Last Breath,” Cole explained, “I had seen the documentary and it blew my mind.

“Then I read the script—it was so beautifully paced and told the story so well. The film is an edge-of-your-seat true survival rescue story that has a great optimistic ending and shows how you can do anything if you persevere.

“It [Last Breath] is loaded with well-rounded characters, and it really is a true story—it’s nothing short of a miracle. It’s the kind of story you can’t miss.”

Finn Cole stars alongside Hollywood heavyweight, Woody Harrelson, known for acclaimed movies like No Country For Old Men and the acclaimed first season of anthological series True Detective, and rising-super-star Simu Liu, known for Marvel’s Shang Chi and the global juggernaut, Barbie. The film was theatrically released in the United States on 28 February 2025 and is now being shown across cinemas in the United Kingdom having been released on 14 March.

ARGYLLE: AN OVERSTRETCHED SPY THRILLER THAT LOSES ITS CHARM FAST

Image
From what looked like a snazzy premise of art imitating life, Matthew Vaughn seemed to get lost in keeping the concept alive for a runtime that is too long for it, along with losing the directorial flair of his Kingsman films. As a result, Argylle is very messy. It succeeds well in the first hour where the imagination of Ellie Conway, an introverted spy novelist, matches the ongoings of a shady syndicate and a spy, played by Sam Rockwell of all people, is sent to protect her. So, let’s clear this up, Henry Cavill is not the main star of this show. As it is always wonderful to see his beautiful face and for him to live, albeit briefly, in the role of James Bond that he may never see, Cavill is a fleeting cameo designed only for ticket sales. It would have been fun had he played more of a part in the big twist at the end, but alas, one of the most popular actors of today is sprinkled throughout the first three quarters, then disappears and had me forget he was in the film, to begin with...

AWARD SEASON ENDS: THE OSCARS RECAP

Image
It is now the conclusion of this year’s award season as the 96 th Academy Awards aired with an array of pleasing, if not predictable, results. You might be sensing a bit of a pattern from these award ceremonies. The Golden Globes, Critic’s Choice and BAFTAs alike have all seen Oppenheimer explode (no pun intended) in most if not all of the major categories. And now that the Oscars have passed, this year’s award season can be safely deemed ‘Oppenheimer and the rest’ as it took home seven awards, including Best Picture and Director. Us Oppen-homies can rejoice at the hugely satisfying display of Christopher Nolan clutching Best Director. Despite being acclaimed as one of the greats of modern cinema, the auteur has struggled to twist the awards in his favour as he has done with time and linear narratives. His only wins are one for the effects in the sci-fi odyssey Interstellar and a posthumous Best Supporting Actor for the late Heath Ledger. Now, not only is Nolan’s award shelf jam...

INVINCIBLE season 2 (2023-4) review

Image
The Amazon Prime smash hit returns for the remaining eight episodes (released Thursdays) of its second season and it is soaring with the usual stratospheric action and blood splatter. The last time we saw teen superhero, Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), he was recovering from a devastating confrontation with the Viltrumites, intergalactic colonialists and the overarching antagonists of the series. His father (JK Simmons), a Viltrumite who turned rogue, was taken by them. That is all on top of Mark, along with fellow heroes, having to deal with threats on Earth, from Mars and even across alternative realities. So far, this season has packed as powerful a punch as its predecessor, brutally deconstructing what it means to be a superhero. But the thrills were paused at the 4 th  episode and fans had to endure an almost three-month break from one of the best modern superhero outputs of our age. The latest episode, titled "This Must Come As A Shock", picks right up where we left off...
