Review of Breathe

Breathe (I) (2024)
8/10
Flawed but still underrated
19 April 2024
Acting: 9/10 Story: 8/10 Director: 4/10 Visuals: 8/10 What is bad about this movie:
  • the psycho in this movie is a boring cliché seen in so many psycho movies
  • the story, while not original, is pretty good, but is dumbed down by several bad choices in the script, which are quite off putting and they explain so many bad reviews. I agree with the bad reviews but not with their final score.


  • several plot holes could have been fixed with a more inventive script, but instead, they are constantly taking you out of the movie's flow
  • there is no black bad character, all baddies are whites, which might indicate a political agenda.


  • small details like watches indicating only O2, while today's smartwatches can show so many more things.


What is good about this movie (and most of the bad reviews are ignoring):
  • very good acting
  • I liked the story build up, the realism and the imminence of such of scenario in real life
  • special effects are more than enough for this movie and do very good job for the immersion
  • the ending, while quite predictable, was giving me a bit of hope in humanity after all.
