Last Breath (2001) User Reviews

Leaves you breathless!

[Seeman21 · 10/10 · 13 May 2002]

This film is simply one of the best short films i have ever seen. The emotional impact that it creates is nothing short of phenomenal. I don't want to give away much information about the story itself. Let's just say, you have to see it, to understand it the way i do. The cinematography, direction, and production value in this film is superb. It looks like a million dollar film, but it is far from your typical boring blockbuster. This story really sucks you in. A man about to be put to death for a crime he did commit, in front of his sobbing wife, leaving a child behind...its truly a concept worth exploring, and it gives you a new appreciate for life, and a new take on the horrors of the death penalty, especially when considering the way trials are run in the world today. This film had me tears within a few short minutes. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is tired of watching boring 2 hour films, when they can get the same if not better emotional rollercoaster ride from a film such as this. Truly a work of art, by an up and coming young filmmaker.

Great legal story

This film was great, "keeps you going" till the last minute. A great tribute to the film 'short'.

I ran across it by accident while doing research on another project and am I glad.

Shows the workings of our 'justice system' in detail.

Although it used a variety of 'unknown' actors, they all worked together creating an outstanding result.

This was Joe's Directing debut and I expect his work will be seen and enjoyed often in the years to come.

This is a "must see" for anyone doing legal research for a crime drama.

Excellent comments by veteran actor Ed Asner as well.
