Echo Boomers

A very silly movie that takes itself very seriously.

Director Seth Savoy displays real talent and infuses Echo Boomers with a kinetic flash that suits the material.

The slackly paced Echo Boomers has all the excitement of a feature-length essay in The Nation.

[Echo Boomers] prefers party montages and facile psychoanalysis to an in-depth look at class issues in America, leaving viewers wondering who this film is for and what it’s really trying to say.

[Echo Boomers is] a snarky and reductive bid at social commentary, satisfied to be yet another in a long line of highly-stylized Boondock Saints-wannabes.

Fascinating, dialogue-rich crime drama, based on a true story, centered on five disillusioned graduates who plunder and destroy in protest against the previous generation.

Echo Boomers is a wreckless heist film, filled to the brim with stuffy acting, slick montages, and a bloated script. It has a lot of flash and nothing that goes boom.

It wants desperately to say something impressive about the younger generations of millenniums except it has nothing impressive to say.

The actors are having fun toeing that line and bringing us into the unbridled destruction as a vicarious outlet for which we won't have to suffer the consequences.

A little Michael Shannon goes a long way here. The veteran actor knows how to make a small part sting and his work elevates Savoy's energetic crime adventure.
