Review of ECCO (2019) by Tommonday — 02 Jun 2022

Look. 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.
