As goofy and unconvincing as it often is, “The Last Breath” is difficult to get exasperated over. It may go down easier still if you opt to see it in a very well-air-conditioned setting.[10]

Rated "C" was given by Derek Sante of KSNV and he simply wrote;

A simplistic film that overextends.[11]

Noah Berlatsky of Chicago Reader gave the film a positive feedback and he wrote;

Is it great art? No. Is it good art? Also no. But there is something satisfying about the blank, sleek, toothy justice of it.[12]
