Featured reviews
Echo Boomers tries to be a heist thriller. About a young college grad who has difficulty trying to get a job. Instead joins his group of friends who break into high class peoples home to steal there valuables and vandalized the property.
Plot tries to focus on the generation group of people. Which they feel like they are cheated in our society. So they try to get back at it by robbing peoples stuff. Dumb plot. The direction is predictable. The performances are tedious. And the film is quite forgettable.
Plus, this movie tries to have it both ways, as it tries to portray an objective view by using the "journalist writing a book" gimmick (which takes you away from the subjective view of each character and hence leads you to interpret this view as more "objective), but at the same time it slants the narrative towards a supposedly "social-justice" attitude from some of the protagonists. Well, this is all BS. The protagonists are not some modern day Robin Hoods. They are actually entitled spoiled brats and/or lazy wimps who just want their kicks and their money. Maybe this is yet another sign of the decadence of western civilization.
Surely, this is a nice production with a decent cast overall (with maybe the exception of Schwarzenegger Jr., though, because acting isn't his strongest suit), and competent execution all around. But this surely isn't a valuable contribution to cinema nor to culture as whole. And you won't be missing much if you skip it.
