Breakwater

Step off the road Nicolas Cage. Wellcome Dermot Mulroney. Mulroney thank you for the "The Rumbler" but it was in 2013. I like the prison theme and about half time of the movie i was in interest. I wasn't guessing what's going on. Thought it will be searching for gold and diamonds movie like as "Into the Blue" 2005. The inspiring beginning after half of the film slowly began to slide into a cheap drama for three people. Actors are running beetween house and boat. Weak motivation, Tears, stupid self sacrifice. Where are another persons? Where are police at last? Yes, i remember few film with the same location but its have a incredible actor perfomans. Mulrones can plays bad guy but not this time.

Breakwater is about strong character, always fulfilling a promise, making food out of bad, and how being naïve can lead you to bad choices and negative outcomes.

There's a couple of twists along the way that you may or may not suspect are coming. But they liven up the film as it's pretty flat in terms of emotion and excitement.

The only character that really comes alive is Mena Suvari's barmaid, Kendra. The rest all fall flat for the most part but they carry out their roles OK enough to not make the film a B movie. Darren Mann is the exception, who's acting and affected voice just makes you want to scream at the screen. He was very badly cast for the character he had to play.

Nevertheless it's an easy watch that doesn't demand much from the viewer, the storyline is actually not bad at all, and production values were pretty decent. You will never watch it again, and it won't last in your memory, but you won't hate giving up an hour and a half of your time to see it.

The Extremely Prolific Dermot Mulroney (142 Credits), Fresh-Faced Darren Mann, and the Cutie-Thespian Alyssa Goss,

All Bring a Good Game to a Coastal Village Where Secrets and Treasure are Revealed that Make this a Somewhat Intriguing Independent Dramatic-Thriller.

It's a Good Edgy Mystery with Multi-Dimensional Characters, a Quick Pace and Sharp Sea-Side Images (shot with one camera and no CGI).

The Story Goes in Different Directions Now and Then and Keeps Viewers On-Their-Toes. Some Revelations May Make a "Suspension of Disbelief" Mandatory, but it Does Not Interfere too Much with the Entertainment Factor.

Overall, it's a "Dark" Tale that Leans into Neo-Noir Territory as a "Lifer" (Mulroney) Grooms and Protects a Young Inmate and Asks a Favor when the Latter is Released.

This Sets in Motion a Chain of Layered Events Containing Enough Depth and Skullduggery that Makes it an Above Average Film in its Class and is...

Worth a Watch.

From the outside looking in this movie appears to be an inferior version of Cape Fear. However this is a well made indie movie that is equal parts mystery and thriller.

The story is engaging enough to also keep you hooked all the way through. Performance wise Dermot Mulroney maybe gives one of his best performances ever as Ray and director James Rowe probably watched Cape Fear before making this because Mulroney's performance here reminded me a lot of De Niro's from that movie. Alyssa Goss also does well with her role. Daren Mann as Dovey is the one who really gives a breakout leading role performance here and I hope to see him in more things going forward.

The film sort of feels rushed in the last 15 minutes however and the ending could've packed more of a punch. Overall though for a direct to video indie film this was above par mostly due to the strong performances from both Mann and Mulroney and the strong direction from James Rowe.

This was a pretty decent crime film. Breakwater ad that kind of name that makes you think of a small town with secrets, this is not that but still an interesting crime film Dovey is in prison and meets ray, played by dermet mulhoney. Dovey is getting out in a while and so inbetween the laughs and time spent with other prisoners he asks him to do one thing for him, look for his daughter. So he sets out, unaware that ray finds his own way out to try and get some treasure from a suken ship and what it culminates in is a fight that not everyone might get out of. Ovrall a decent film. It had good acting and a good approch to the plot to.
