Mediocre thriller but worth a watch. The ending is incomplete though and Dermot Mulroney has never been convincing in any role

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

North Carolina's quaint town and menacing coast in this film is well accompanied by Dermot Mulroney who plays a role with similarly mistaken innocence and ruthless intention. A great little indie that keeps you on your toes with beautiful composition and engaging storytelling.

This twisty tale serves up acting sparks while Rowe injects this Cape Fear-lite effort with welcome doses of dark humor.

A farfetched thriller.

Breakwater starts off being a mediocre thriller, but then it goes swiftly downhill in the last third of the movie, when it crams in too many far-fetched plot twists. It doesn't help that the movie's protagonist is dimwitted and boring.

These characters aren’t all that complex or involving as written, the twists that beleaguer them too familiar to stir any great suspense. Still, Breakwater is a competently crafted potboiler that’s entertaining if unmemorable.

Cinemalogue

Far-fetched contrivances eventually sink this stylish and mildly intriguing thriller overflowing with bayou atmosphere.

Dovey is less a character and more a plot device. He's a pretty bland one, too...

Rated: 1/4
