7/26/2023 0 Comments Echoes of warMPAA Rating: R for violence, sexuality/nudity and languageĬast: James Badge Dale, William Forsythe, Ethan Embry, Maika Monroe, Rhys Wakefield, Beth Broderick, Owen TeagueĬredits: Directed by Kane Senes, script by John Chriss, Kane Senes. “Echoes of War” needs prettier visuals and bigger ideas, because the dialogue is too formulaic and the violence to come is entirely too predictable to hold our interest for 100 minutes. A little random ugliness, a pointless and grisly sex scene involving the madwoman and her mad husband, sets the tone. It’s also a generally artless film, with little in the cinematography to suggest the painterly touches such period pieces usually merit. It’s hard to develop empathy for characters that are simple archetypes. The players aren’t bad, but they have too little to play, even the young lovers.

So this feud is sure to have echoes of Shakespeare. Echoes of the Zariman: Update 31.6 is our last major update before TennoCon (July 16th, 2022) This update includes new Zariman content and a plethora of quality of life changes that were heavily motivated by player feedback. But Abigail is being secretly courted by Marcus McCluskey (Rhys Wakefield). Wade, still armed and with the bravado of a man who has survived combat, is itching to start something.Īnd Sam wants to be just like his swaggering Uncle Wade. “Pop says they’re just desperate, like all folks,” Wade’s young nephew Sam offers. His wife (Beth Broderick) is crazy, and he figures the Rileys owe him some unpaid debt. Old Man McCluskey lost a son in the war, and the two sons left behind are little comfort. He’s letting the hateful plantation owner next door (William Forsythe) and his sons hunt on his land, raid his traps for food. Brother-in-law Seamus (an unrecognizable Ethan Embry) has kept Abigail (Maika Monroe) and her younger brother Sam (Owen Teague) alive and raised them on the Good Book.īut Wade senses, straight away, that Seamus has been turning the other cheek a little too freely. James Badge Dale (“World War Z,” “The Lone Ranger”) is Wade, a soldier newly returned to Texas, checking in on his late sister’s family. The makers of the upcoming “The Keeping Room,” with Brit Marling, Sam Worthington and Hailee Steinfeld, figured that out.Īnd the co-writer/director Kane Senes made the same discovery before tackling “Echoes of War,” a small-scale post-war tale of a blood feud that predated Fort Sumter and picks up after Appomattox. Does not trigger off persistent damage or DoT effects.Take away the armies and artillery and a low-budget Civil War movie turns into a Western.
