BREAKWATER is good little thriller. It’s perfect for a night on the couch.
The film is the story of a you ex-con who breaks his parole to track down the daughter of a big wig con. The problem that in addition to causing problems with his parole, he is also walking into a more complicated situation then he could ever imagine.
As you probably can guess BREAKWATER doesn’t break any new ground, however it expertly moves over the well worn path it chooses to travel. While the turns aren’t as surprising as they could be you really don’t care because the cast, headed by Dermot Mulroney and Darren Mann is so good. Creating characters we both care about and hate with a passion, they give us enough of a reason to sit and watch. This is a film I would have loved to have sat and watched on a rainy night on TV with my dad. It’s the sort of film we would have enjoyed and engage with during it’s whole time with a steady running dialog.
Definitely worth a look when you want something not over whelming, and just solid.
