Ecco

Thought this was a Macgruber sequel for about 20 minutes in, but sadly it's not. The main character even looks a bit like Will Forte! Unfortunately, it's just a regular old movie -- no throat rips, no sex scenes on the tombstone with the ghost of your dead wife, and no distracting the enemy with a stalk of celery sticking out of your butt. I'm going to go watch Macgruber. I would suggest you do the same.

The quality of the movie is good.

But there is no explanation for what is going on.

Too much cryptic dialogue with no back story to make it understandable.

Many long and unnecessary scenes, with meaningless dialogue that did not explain or add to the story line.

Movie should have just be a little over one hour.

Watchable but not deeply enjoyable.

It's always a problem when the central characters are all blond women and men with half shaved faces. Are these different people or the same people at different times? Who knows? Who cares? Is this a film about an assassin, or corporate espionage,or a pair of lovers? Who knows? Who cares? Did someone get a discount on a guitar player to score the entire film? Who knows? Who cares?

The movie itself was alright, not as bad as some people are making it out to be.

Now you may notice a lot of reviewers think it is the best movie made in the past 100 years, and deserves a perfect 10. What is suspicious is all these one or two line reviews were posted on the same day in August 2019. One might think someone connected to the production of the movie came on to imdb to inflate the rating.

I hate it when budget production companies spend more money on filming in cinema quality resolution than compromising and spending some of the budget on semi known actors who have the ability to act instead of unknowns who try there hardest not to look like there regurgitation a script and actively trying to ignore the camera filming them.

Sort of breaking the forth wall without intending to break the forth wall.

After 10 minutes i had to look up the cast because i couldn't work out how the female love interest was dead one minute and pregnant the next because you can't keep track of the flashbacks and can't work out what is present day ?

I learned there were two female love interests. Both look incredibly similar. One had a hard time maintaining an american accent and her Australian accent poked through often.

I say 40 minutes because i had to go and watch some pain dry instead because that made more sense.
