The late genre-fave actor makes one of his final film appearances here.

RLJE Films releases THE LAST BREATH to select theaters and on VOD July 26. It was directed by Joachim Hedén, whose award-winning Swedish film BREAKING SURFACE was remade in English last year as THE DIVE, from a script by Nick Saltrese. Kim Spearman, Jack Parr, Alexander Arnold, Erin Mullen, Arlo Carter and Julian Sands star; the synopsis: “Finding the long-lost wreck of the warship USS Charlotte has been the lifelong pursuit of Levi [Sands], an aging expat running a tourist dive business in the British Virgin Islands together with recent college dropout Noah [Parr]. When the USS Charlotte emerges for the first time in 80 years after a tropical storm, Noah’s friends visiting the island insist for them all to do a once-in-a-lifetime dive on the newly discovered wreck before it’s handed over to the authorities. The dream dive rapidly turns into a nightmare as they become trapped in the darkness of the Charlotte’s interior, 30 meters down and with a dwindling air supply. And then they discover that they are not alone.”
