nthurkettle 148 Posted December 17, 2015 I think the reason this probably hasn't been proposed yet is that basically nobody even heard about it - but I swear it was actually in movie theaters in 2009; my girlfriend and I went to the theater and there was nothing else we wanted to see and we hadn't heard anything about this so we went. Â It's almost exactly the same plot as "Eagle Eye", which was out around the same time - in that a rogue A.I. is manipulating people using TECHNOLOGY (June will LOVE this). Only in this case, an IT guy receives a magical new cell phone that text alerts him to not board a plane that ends up crashing, then helps him win a fortune at slot machines. Then there's a whole lot of chasing and bullsh*t and Russians and actors cashing B-movie checks (Ed Burns! Ving Rhames! Martin Sheen!) Jonathan Pryce shows up and delivers this monologue about falconry that is Christopher Walken-level demented. And then the hero saves the world with his belt. For serious. Â Also, there's a hilarious coda scene where we learn that the RUSSIANS were the heroes all along - somberly hoping we Americans can be steered towards peace and goodness! Â It even achieved the rare and coveted 0% Rotten Tomatoes rating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon_Conspiracy Share this post Link to post
