Echo Boomers ทีมปล้นคนเจนวาย (2020) [ บรรยายไทย ]

We learn the gang was founded by Alex Pettyfer’s Ellis and Hayley Law’s Allie, who started robbing homes as some sort of political statement about the effed-up world their parents have left them, but now seem to be in it mostly for the money and the instant gratification they pursue in the form of drinks and drugs and more drinks and more drugs (not to mention the highs they experience every time they pull off another job). Everyone in the group has a back story explaining why they indulge in a particular form of vandalism each time out; for example, one of them had a horrible childhood and always seeks out family photos to smash and destroy. Still, it’s tough to feel empathy for this bunch, most of whom come across as entitled little jerks who think the world owes them something and have decided they’ll take what they want without earning it. Even the initially likable Lance becomes something of a chest-thumping d-bag.

Still, we stay involved with “Echo Boomers,” thanks to the excellent performances, the eye-popping visuals and the promise of another scene involving Michael Shannon’s Mel, who runs a legitimate business but has a lucrative side gig in providing the gang with the names and addresses of wealthy Chicagoans and suburbanites with seven-figure homes loaded with material goods.




 

Director Seth Savoy (who co-wrote the screenplay with Kevin Bernhardt and Jason Miller) displays real talent and infuses “Echo Boomers” with a kinetic flash that suits the material. It would be an upset to learn Savoy isn’t a huge fan of the works of Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino, and such films as “The Town” and “Heat.” This is a nifty little gem in the heist genre, with the familiar message about the perils of greed and always wanting more and more and even more. The Echo Boomers don’t know when to stop, and we know where that will land them.
