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

Score one for the snowflake generation raised by parents to think they're entitled and educated to believe that everyone and everything around them is unfair, except of course, for themselves, and you've got the raison' d'etre for "Echo Boomers". One can feel some empathy for young college grads who can't get a job in an overcrowded market, but smash and grab doesn't really strike me as the way to go. Funny, but I didn't know Arnold Schwarzenegger had a son named Patrick even if he's been around a little over a decade making films. I think he looks a bit more like his mom (Maria Shriver) than his dad, but the combined set of good genes made him a good looking actor.

So this whole rebellion against the system takes a wicked turn when Lance Zutterland (Patrick Schwarzenegger) decides to go solo, even throwing some of his cohorts overboard when push came to shove. He got to know what that felt like when cousin Jack (Gilles Geary) made off with a king's ransom in stolen cash, ditching Lance in a seedy motel and taking off on his own. The story is sort of laid out in numerical order with Lance's narration of the Top Ten rules for enterprising thieves and home wreckers, some of which I would actually agree with outside of the story line's context. You would think that with everything he went through and learned about trying to take short cuts in life, Lance wouldn't have admitted to doing it again in a heartbeat.

What I wouldn't necessarily go along with though was Lance's Rule #7 - 'The best things in life are expensive'. If that powder blue suit was any indication, I'd say he would have done a better job off the rack at Old Navy. But who could argue with the price tag, six grand for a new set of duds. How can they do it so cheap?

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.
