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

The always watchable Mulroney nails the film's tone: earnest and ludicrous in equal measure.

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.

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