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.

Poorly acted. Not very believable. Cannot maintain suspension of disbelief. It is Long. Long and slow. Pretentious. Tries to be stylistic and fails. Music score is weak. It's as if it doesn't know what kind of film it wants to be. Fight scenes passable. It's not as if they didn't try, it just needs focus and one unifying vision. It's several genre of films stitched together.

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.

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.

Has all the production values of a bait and switch tv series pilot. First an engaging exciting airplane heist scene, after which practically nothing happens during the entire rest of the film. Almost 2 hours of overtly long drawn out scenes in which nothing of importance happens. Think about a bad slow tv drama and then double the slowness, it's unbelievable.

The music can be good at times and hides the fact that nothing of importance is happening, because the music conveys a sense of thrill. Take out the music and realize you're watching endless filler footage which simply does not matter. How this ever got distribution is a mystery, even Troma should've declined this borefest.
