“Breakwater” (** out of four) was an overly familiar and trite melodrama about an ex-con (Darren Mann) who is released from prison and tries to track down the daughter (Alyssa Gross) of his mentor (Dermot Mulroney) from prison but this places them all on a collision course of fate and consequences that questions all of their identities and alterior motives. Watchable but never much more than that; good performances help to keep film on track but it’s never as incisive or involving as it might have been. Film’s only real distinction is it was shot on a single camera without any add-ins or effects.
