Leave your thoughts about ECCO.
| Film ThreatAlan NgThe story is unique, and the end revelations are clever but fall short of mind-blowing (which is the bar). Lathrop Walker carries the film from beginning to end. He’s exciting and likable. He excels at his stunt work and provides the empathy we need for his character to carry us to the finish line. |
| The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenVery, very late in ECCO’s two-plus hour running time, answers come. It’s a long wait for clarity. From the viewer, much patience is required. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThere’s more repetition and ponderousness than compelling intrigue in the end result here. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA surfeit of bad-ass mystery-man posturing and dearth of either convincing emotion or visceral kicks makes this pastiche unmoving, an assemblage of tropes few will enjoy wading through. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreTerrible script and flaccid direction by Ben Medina. Terrible movie. Will it be the worst of 2019? We’ll see, and we’ll remember. |
| User ReviewTomMondayLook. This movie isn’t good. You shouldn’t watch it. It’s basically an amnesiac assassin boning Z-list blonde girls for the first half hour, then a bunch of slow-burn cat-and-mouse chase sequences that never come to a boil. But for the budget, it’s shot well. Acting is competent. Atmosphere is intriguing, like Bourne on quaaludes. The editor needs to be fired. Or the writer. Same flashbacks happen over and over – a good thirty minutes could be cut from the film and literally nothing would change. Unless you’ve already seen every last spy thriller out there, take a pass on Ecco. |
