Speakeasy Pictures

"Echo Boomers" isn't going to change the way you look at film, but it gives you a breakneck and highly inventive Shannon to lead the way, a new bright-eyed kid in Schwarzenegger, and a bright talent in Geary. What more do you want? Around 14 minutes into the film, right when Lance starts to meld with the group, there's a scene at a club with the perfect music, dialogue, and energy. Savoy's film never stops moving, at least not for long. Romantic subplots are mere speed bumps, and extra story intangibles aren't frequent. The narrative method of "Echo Boomers" presents the present up front, before a big dive into the past to see how they got to this predicament. Due to Savoy's energy and crime film love, you never think for too long about the holes and flaws in the film's setup and follow-through. Flashy for good reason. This story has been done 150 times, so Savoy spices up the delivery just enough.
