The Rileys trap animals and sell their pelts for a meager living, while the McCluskeys, having lost their proud cattle business to the war, steal from the weaker Rileys' traps. That is, until WADE, favorite uncle to the Riley children and an embattled war veteran, visits his family to find reprieve from the horrors he has seen. Wade learns of the McCluskeys' misdoings and takes it upon himself to put a stop to them and before long, finds himself with another war on his hands - this time, one of his own making.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Frank Scheck[A] sluggish post-Civil War drama directed and co-written by Kane Senes that wears its shopworn ideas too heavily on its sleeve.
Aisle Seat - 8/10 by Mike McGranaghanEchoes of War may not be the most dazzling movie of its kind ever made, but the solid acting and engaging ideas make it worth seeing.
Cinemalogue.com - 8/10 by Todd JorgensonThe film's visuals and script fail to evoke the necessary sympathy, despite some committed performances.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Neil GenzlingerThe scriptwriters, Kane Senes (who also directed) and John Chriss, keep the family secrets too bottled up, but the actors, who include William Forsythe as the McCluskey patriarch, play it with dark vigor.
The Dissolve - 5/10 by Mike D'AngeloMost of Echoes Of War amounts to Hints Of Aggression, with the film struggling to find enough incident to reach feature length.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Michael RechtshaffenWhile all the naturalistic overtones might suggest faith-based Terrence Malick, those committed performances keep the film involving, however recognizably those echoes might resonate.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Abby GarnettHowever you view the western in American filmmaking — as a moth-eaten relic or an eternal form to be resurrected every few years — there's something stale about Kane Senes's tepid historical drama Echoes of War, which utilizes the genre's symbols without delivering on its potential for moral or narrative satisfaction.
Movie Nation - 4/10 by Roger MooreEchoes of War needs prettier visuals and bigger ideas, because the dialogue is too formulaic and the violence to come is entirely too predictable to hold our interest for 100 minutes.
RogerEbert.com - 4/10 by Peter SobczynskiI could not see it as anything more than a giant bore that presents viewers with the most familiar plot devices imaginable but fails to present them in a way that makes them worth sitting through once again.
User Review - 7/10 by Meth-dudeIt was well acted, well shot and the story was interesting. Unfortunately, the movie is very slow and gets pretty boring at times. It's not the worst period film, but it could've been so much better.
