Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

bulldawgznpushers Peter Sobczynski of rogerebert.com said this about Echoes of War:"Despite my best efforts, I could not see Echoes of War as anything more than a giant bore.""Co-writers John Chriss and Kane Senes have provided a screenplay that consists of dialogue that strains for poetry at every turn and misses every time, and characters who always feel like plot devices instead of actual people.""Senes serves double duty as director, and, as uninvolving as the screenplay he gave himself is, he does it no favor with a pace so sluggish that the film feels maybe three times longer than it actually is.""The actors have been given neither compelling characters to play nor plausible dialogue, they more or less look exactly like what they are—a bunch of actors stuck in uncomfortable outfits uttering largely unspeakable dialogue.""James Badge Dale is normally a good actor but his character is so one-dimensional and uninteresting that he is unable to get anything going with it.""William Forsythe is one of those B-movie presences who can usually liven up even the most substandard of material but he is also stymied by a character built of so many clichés that he was probably off-book halfway through the first table read.""Anyone going to this film to see Maika Monroe will be especially disappointed."

jenny vasilos Try to imagine this image: a small movie theater with eight people in it watching this movie. 20 minutes in to the thing, there is a chorus of snoring coming from 4 of the people fast asleep. The snoring was competing with the dialogue... which, in my opinion, the snoring clearly won...and was a helluva lot more interesting than what the characters were saying. 15 minutes later, 2 other people had dozed off and the cacophony of snoring had, as they say, reached a crescendo. I looked back at the one other person awake and we just busted out laughing. I took out my iPhone and recorded it. I'll post it on YouTube under Echoes of Snore.Regarding this film, don't bother unless you want to watch 100 minutes of characters beating rugs or picking wildflowers. The writing, acting, photography, directing, music, hair, makeup, costumes, sets were laughable. Student films have better production values than this. Looked like the budget for this film was under 100k.I recommend the director, writers and producers of this movie not quit their day job...

nylitguy Abby Garnett from the Village Voice was spot on in her review of this poorly written and executed drama. I'm not kidding, nearly 90 minutes of this film show the lead character scraping a razor across his scalp combined with tedious dinner scenes that will put a speed-freak to sleep. All the characters are under-developed with terrible Texas accents and look like the type of people you would see hanging out in a trendy NY restaurant. This is supposed to be a western/period piece for Christ's sake! Of the five other patrons in the theater I saw it at, three of them walked out after thirty minutes. This is definitely one to avoid.

Peter Quinn (smubaseball) Films don't get a whole lot more boring than this one. They bill it as a western - probably in an attempt to separate fans of the genre from their hard earned money (and time). The reality is this is a poorly written, poorly produced piece of manure that will have you fast asleep before the first 15-20 minutes. If you're unfortunate to still be awake after the first 15-20 minutes, you'll be subjected to the most drawn out, self-indulgent, boring drama that will have you wishing you were doing anything else but watching it. When I saw this, I witnessed audience members shifting in their seats, checking their iPhones, dozing off, anything but able to stay with this for over an hour and a half. It's really that bad. Boring story, boring performances, boring, boring, boring.This will undoubtedly go straight to video where it will fade into the annals of the internet filed under films that nobody saw or gave a darn about.
