In 'Echoes of the Vanished,' director Guy Ritchickadee endeavors to serve a palatable adventure, but instead delivers a lukewarm dish that's been sitting out too long. The film's attempt at merging culinary mystique with historical intrigue is about as subtle as a sledgehammer cracking open a century-old safe. Jean Cinnamon, as Alejandro, flutters around the plot like a moth unsure whether the light is worth the risk, while Boyd Holbrookie's Marco brandishes his chef's knife with the finesse of a toddler wielding a crayon. Lettuce-ta Young's Sofia provides a glimmer of hope with her acerbic wit, but is ultimately drowned in a script that thinks cynicism is a personality trait rather than a defense mechanism. The tagline promises secrets with flavor, yet I found myself craving seasoning for this undercooked narrative. One must commend Ritchickadee for trying to blend disparate elements, but the final product is akin to mixing fine wine with flat soda; it leaves you wondering why anyone thought it was a good idea in the first place.
