A Civil War veteran (James Badge Dale) takes matters into his own hands when neighboring ranchers steal animals from his family's traps.

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

[A] sluggish post-Civil War drama directed and co-written by Kane Senes that wears its shopworn ideas too heavily on its sleeve.

A giant bore that presents viewers with the most familiar plot devices imaginable but fails to present them in a way that makes them worth sitting through once again.

Rated: 1.5/4

Los Angeles Times

The somber period western "Echoes of War" retraces some well-traveled moral ground but is invigorated by a cast that includes James Badge Dale, Ethan Embry and William Forsythe.

Fort Worth Weekly

This tale of the futility of revenge works well enough on its own modest terms.

The film never achieves its potential in terms of tension.

Cinemalogue

The film's visuals and script fail to evoke the necessary sympathy, despite some committed performances.

This movie is a slow burn, but a well acted film. Its worth a watch just don't expect an action movie like their trailer was hinting at.

The movie boosts some interesting ideas and ok performances but the movie was a note for 3/4 of it with bad pacing. Things get better in the end and I see what this movie wanted to do. It just needed a better director and script writer.

A dark and tense drama that feels as authentic as it does poetic.
