Review of Echelon Conspiracy (2009) by Brett W — 19 Jun 2010
The plot of Echelon Conspiracy is strikingly familiar to my own life, except that the text messages offer to increase the size of my penis...and no one important is chasing me. Anyway, It's nice to see that "average guy being pursued by big brother in the 21st century" has remained such a lucrative genre. Keep the crap train a rollin', gentlemen.
Also, this film reminded me of one my favorite cinematic cliches, one which I call "Fay Intimidation"...
First, the English villain asks crony if he likes ______ (insert mundane activity). Crony shrugs timidly "uh, sure boss, I guess".
English villain then proceeds to tell a long, boring parable that ends with a veiled threat if the desired outcome is not met. Classic!
Frankly, anytime a man at a desk asks me if I like something I immediately start fearing for my life.
