Breakwater

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.

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.

This was a huge waste of my time, and I'm sick in bed so there's nothing else to do but waste time. I don't know how it ended up on my to watch list, but this was all drama, no thrill, and extra cheesy. Do your self a favor and refrain from making the same mistake I did. The elements of suspense led me to believe that maybe, just maybe, something unpredictable could happen, but I was disappointed time and time again. I wish I had something to recommend about this movie, but there was nothing that I actually liked about the film. I gave it a 3 because the camera operation was clean, and I liked the setting and background.

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.
