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.

A limp, but passable film
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.
Great little movie
What a refreshing indie movie. This may be an indie movie but it doesn't feel like one. The production and acting make it feel like a full on Hollywood production. The storytelling is quite compelling. It's very refreshing to watch a movie that's actually filmed where it's set. I'm from Northeastern NC and it is nice to see familiar landmarks in a movie. And no I'm not a paid shill here writing a review. I really can't say much more other than it's a movie I would readily watch it again. I'm not much on words when it comes to reviews. I'm just saying that's it a great movie and if you're reading this I would encourage giving it a watch. You won't regret it.
