Ecco

2 hours of my life I will never get back. Started with about 12 people in the theater. At the end, there were 3. Slow, terrible.

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.

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?

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.

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.
