After a trying afternoon dealing with the VA, I decided that
I needed to unwind earlier than usual. With the kids awake, I decided to find
something tamer than usual. After some debate with the voices in my head, I
decided on the 2011 independent entry: Donovan’s Echo.
Plot/ A series of uncanny déjà vu events force a man to
re-examine his tragic past, memory, instinct, and future.
I had never heard of this one when it popped up on the
screen on my Netflix account and decided to role the dice. I am glad that I
did. This rather unknown (and therefore underrated) supernatural themed movie
was a lot better than I ever imagined. The atmosphere was heavy, the storyline
layered, the performances solid, and the characters worked well together. Yes,
it was a touch predictable as there were just enough hints written in to aid in
discovery, and there were a few production/cinematography issues, but that did
little to bring this one down. In the end, this was an entertaining mystery
that dove into an intriguing topic. Check it out; it was definitely a surprise.
