Ah, 'Echoes of the Forsaken,' another post-apocalyptic romp through the cinematic graveyard of originality. Directed by the ever-eccentric Andrei Tarkovskunk, the film certainly rustles up some old tropes like they're going out of style, and boy, aren't they? Here we find a cowboy who's so grizzled, you can practically see the tumbleweeds taking notes, and thanks to Lion Bacall's rendition, one might remember the allure of gunslinging enough to forget the plausibility of finding hair gel amidst societal collapse. Cake Wins-platter and Idris Elbeans play our oh-so-witty survivalists, whose rapport is as tight as their grip on sarcasm. If biting quips could kill, these two might just save the future. The movie saunters along, ensuring you feel every contemplative pause, most likely designed to give viewers ample time to reflect on why they aren't watching a more cheerful dystopia. One can't help but admire the determination to shovel profoundness into every scenic shot, likely in hopes that the audience will heap as much praise onto it. While 'Echoes of the Forsaken' fails to truly eclipse its genre contemporaries, it does echo enough of their better qualities to earn a smirking nod of recognition for its efforts. It's a bumpy ride across a harsh narrative landscape, but at least the gunfire keeps you awake, if the dark humor doesn't.
