Well, idk how they managed to get Michael Shannon on this one but dear lord this was borderline insulting...my intelligence I mean.

Awful millienial movie, poor acting, direction and execution. Dont believe the high ratings they are all part of the production

It's ironic that a movie that somewhat tries to champion the notion that western (and US in particular) society in the 2010's was cruel to millennials actually falls short on its own merits... which is something that happens to many millennials, in spite of their feelings of entitlement. The thing is... You can be rejected because you just can't cut it, not because you are a millennial or whatever. This was probably the most self-centred generation in modern western history.

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.

I Totally agree with Khasding...What a Waste of Actors etc, Stupid Storyline, & ONLY,if you ENJOY seeing beautiful items of a persons belongings being utterly destroyed,watch this,OTHERWISE please avoid it,like the Plague !!!!

While this is not a pulse pounding thriller n Michael Shannon's role aint that big either, it is pretty entertaining n moves at a decent pace. It is very mild compared to most heist films, ther is no action or devious plans. All the robberies r a piece of cake. I am generous with a 7 cos i found it engrossing. I saw this for two reasons, Michael Shannon and the genre heist. They shud have shown the explanation of the cousin's behavior towards the end, was it really planned or not?

I don't know why Michael Shannon agreed to be in this movie. He should fire his agent. This movie falls shorts on everything, the story, the plot, its own merits, the forced and very juvenile dialogue.

I recommend forgetting this movie and moving on. This isn't even good as a "for fun" movie to watch, or a random movie to watch during the weekends. It's pure unadulterated trash.

When i read this: Best movie I've seen all year!!!.... probably this user just watch one movie this year lol Bad movie, and sorry to Michael Shannon !

This movie was rated a 6 for the HD quality of the movie especially low budget type B production. It had a good plot and some factual basis for the story line. However, the acting was only acceptable, not good or great perhaps better story boarding or directing might have helped.It had draw power with the likes of Michael Shannon and (fans of) Lesley Ann Warren. The story line was not fluid enough to make a sort of glued to your seat watching a thriller. If the movie was re-edited and was more fluid, I would give it higher ratings. Again, I must commend the people who did the camera work. If you have the time watch it to understand how many people now feel and try to live a life of entitlement-this was accomplished in the movie.

This film was supposed to appeal to our masses. Lucky I think very different from others in my generation.

The movie as whole portrays a group of young adults who are struggling in society/financially and decide to rob houses to get by. The movie at first seems interesting but after awhile it gets kind of slow and boring. The cast (which has plenty of good actors) is left squandered in this with cheesy dialogue. The film also feels low budget and visuals weren't anything great.

Overall Just wasn't fan of this B-movie, the only type of people this appeases to is teenagers to young adults who find movies like this "rad". Most older adults won't enjoy this at all.

Awful direction, silly dialogue but the acting is world class laughable. Some fake ratings, hence score.

A fun, fasted-paced thriller with a dynamic cast. It was beautifully shot, and Gilles Geary - reminiscent of a young Leo - really stood out, even beside Shannon, Pettyfer and Schwarzenegger.

2 out of 5 stars.

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.

Not a bad movie. This is a great example of a movie where having a veteran actor who everyone knows makes a big difference -- I wouldn't have watched or even liked this is Michael Shannon wasn't in it.

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. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 3/20/2021

Poorly written and haphazardly directed dreck. Patrick Schwarzenegger and Michael Shannon are passable but the other actors are awful. Slowly paced and boring, its 94 minutes seemed like 940. Avoid.

Drew me right in, and I liked how the kid got sucked in by the den of thieves. Patrick Schwarzenegger is very good. Michael Shannon is always watchable. Including this. Compelling story. Enjoyed.

I was shocked to see that this movie has a 5.3 rating. I really enjoyed it. Each actor played a convincing, entertaining role. Michael Shannon is always solid. Alex Pettyfer is excellent as well. And Patrick Schwarznegger, I've never seen act before. But I must say that he did an excellent job. Great movie, definitely recommend watching it.

An unbearable, lengthy pastiche of whining by despicable young adults who feel cheated because adulthood has not arrived gold-plated and wrapped in pretty silk bows. By halfway through, I got tired of the carping and complaints , not to mention the greed and disloyalty on all fronts. and began speeding through scenes that showed people engaged in conversation. Bluntly, I was uninterested in anything these fictional characters had to say.

This film was demoralizing and depressing. Even their crimes were too nasty to be enjoyed. Skip it.

Decent enough story about a gang of disenfranchised millenials taking their unemployment frustrations out on the 1% with robbery and over-the-top vandalism. Michael Shannon plays the menace who only issues threats/discipline to the gang, acting as their fence. But the criminal enterprise falls apart from in-fighting, jealousies, and the ironic desire to be as independently wealthy as the 1% they condemn! The ending left one loose-end out there and that was a bit aggravating.

The movie is about a bunch of kids of this generation that think just because they went to college they should be handed good paying jobs out the gate. The true story of entitlement actually falls ironically to the main lead, Patrick Schwarzenegger, who wouldnt even be in the movie if it wasnt for his uber famous father. Boy was he terrible. Patrick, perhaps you should take some of daddys money and invest in a college degree. Or just sit on the couch and play video games like the rest of your generation.
