CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

beorhouse There ought to be a law. Seriously. This is raunchy trash, for those of you who like that kind of garbage. If you decide to watch, be prepared to be repulsed. Question: why do producers keep throwing their money at directors and their poorly written and scripted films that won't make any money in any venue? Avoid this one, folks. There are far better ones out there.

kelticcreed This is, quite possibly, one of the worst films I have ever seen. It's worst than Swept Away. It's ridiculous, boring, and poorly acted. This is the first movie I have ever walked out of before the end credits rolled.Kane Senes' direction for starters is very unimaginative, and the camera work and editing don't have any real charm to them. The writing and concept is very hackneyed. This has to be one of the most utterly horrible scripts ever conceived by mortal minds. I mean, sweet mother of mercy, what the hell was anyone thinking when they were doing this tepid rubbish? Set in rural post-war Texas, a cattle baron named McCluskey has lost all his cattle. There's a returning war vet named Wade who turns out to be the long-lost brother-in-law to local milquetoast Seamus Riley. The villainous McCluskey clan is stealing from the Riley clan. It takes an inordinate amount of trite and tedious scenes for this conflict to come to a head — nearly 90 minutes of Seamus scraping a razor across his scalp, rugs being cleaned, and tedious dinner scenes. Do yourself an enormous favor and skip this detritus.

crapschamp Usually when a film is as bad as Echoes of War is, you can find some bright spots. But in all honesty, there are none in this film. Nada. Zip. Zilch. This film is so boring and poorly done that you have to wonder how smart the poor suckers were who put their money into this thinking they've struck gold. It's not too surprising why the cast was populated with a few B actors and relative unknowns. The performances were weak because the material was weak. The direction looked awkward and unsure. The cinematography was clumsy, the sets and costumes looked dilettante,and the score was out of place.What they did accomplish was they hit the cinematic excrement trifecta: bad script, bad acting, bad directing.

jcanale Kane Senes establishes himself quickly as a director to watch. This touching, poignant, masterfully directed western hearkens back to an earlier era of filmmaking -- sharing more in common with earlier films of Robert Altman and 70s filmmakers who aren't afraid to let a shot play out and let scenes breathe.Of course, the acting here is magnificent. James 'Badge' Dale, Ethan Embry, and Maika Monroe are all at the top of their games.If you are expecting a shoot em up; this isn't for you. This belongs to the western ouvre of films that breathe: one that Eastwood mastered and now Senes has as well.
