A beautifully told story of an older gentleman who saves a young girl. Through his pain of losing his young family 30 years earlier and still living in pain from losing them. .With a local police officer he finds his "purpose" is to save a young, beautiful and intelligent girl who becomes his legacy in finding what he started in the 1960s. The police officer initially thinks Donavan is having a breakdown after returning from running from his demons but alas he quickly realised that this isn't the case. This is a truly heartwarming and also very heartwrenching at it's conclusion. This is a must see for all film fans across the board.

It does hold your attention but boy it was slow. I also only watched because of Danny Glover. It could be just me but it just felt a bit unnatural and I didn't care for how it ended. It seemed a lot of build up that kind of fizzled out. It was intriguing and interesting idea, I have just seen it done better. I would rather watch a few M. Night films again tbh. Some might like it though. I might have to watch it again to see if my opinion changes.

Those who have a keen interest in fate and karma will love the movie Donovan's Echo. Danny Glover stars as a man grieving for his wife and daughter's death. While he wallowed in alcohol for a time, he tries to get his act together with the support of his goof friend, policeman Bruce Greenwood (co-producer of the movie, too!). Then, he starts getting these psychic flashes about the future and the past. What do they mean? Is tragedy about to strike again, and can he stop it? One tiny detail I found sad and realistic in this movie was the scene when Danny tries to get a job as a science professor. It doesn't matter how brilliant he is, or his lengthy employment history, his long gap of unemployment is all that stands out. The only job he's able to get is stocking shelves at a grocery store. He's repeatedly criticized and publicly humiliated by the store manager, which is so true to life. This brilliant man who cares for others is treated like garbage as he mops the floor of a grocery store; isn't that typical? But back to the bulk of the movie. The story is strong, and the psychic flashes will keep you guessing all the way to the end. In another true to life element, when Danny shows interest in helping a little girl, her mother thinks he has nefarious intentions. Your heart really goes out to him in this movie. If you like these types of plots, add Premonition and Shuffle to your list. DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. The psychic flashes sometimes have a strobing effect, and it will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"

Donovan (Danny Glover) is a slightly dyslexic nuclear physicist who has returned home after 30 years. He has dealt with a 30 year tragedy. Oh not the severe gut wrenching type of tragedy like being a Browns fan, but that of a personal loss of loved ones. His return is clouded with mystery. Sgt. Finnley (Bruce Greenwood) leads a warm reception that soon turns strange as Donovan is consumed by 30 year old premonitions which he kept in a journal. He tries to sort things out, but unfortunately his interpretations lacks a bit of accuracy which leads to initial skepticism. His premonitions center around an 11 year old girl (Natasha Calis) which causes alarm for Mom. The film proceeds as a slow mystery being unraveled. It has many parts which make you think you are watching a "Lifetime" film. There is little action in the film and what action that does happen, is off screen. The film is about the reoccurring cycle of life. A likeable film for those who are into that sort of thing and were banging your head against the wall watching "Cloud Atlas." Parental guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. One BS.

Of course, Danny Glover does an amazing job. Kudos to Bruce Greenwood for producing the film and for his understated but essential performance. He often plays the villain but here he is the best friend a man--especially one experimenting with alcohol and deja vu--could have. The location ambiance (Canada, I assume) brings a brooding northern chill to the watcher while at the same time the sensitivity of Terry Frewer's music score wraps the whole film together with its achingly ethereal, warm, beautiful themes. It's not a big high-concept car-chase adventure--it's an unexpected gem.

Donovan's Echo attempts to be a heartwarming tale about an old man who returns to his home town 30 years after the death of his wife and child. Donovan, who is portrayed by Danny Glover, is a former Physicist who having premonitions and déjà vu senses he returned to his home town, after 30 years wandering, to protect a young girl. As with many movies of this type the protagonist spends a great deal of time running around intruding on the lives of the very people he is trying to protect, until it becomes obvious to everyone that he's not crazy and there is some merit to his premonitions. However, until we get to that point, Glover comes off a bit creeping chasing around an 11-year-old. Be that as it may, the movie is a nice break and a clever mixture of a mild supernatural theme, and human decency, nice and welcomed change. The performances, screenplay and actors did a nice job of playing regular people facing common struggles of death, alcohol and finances. In the end, Donovan's Echo is about self-forgiveness and redemption. It is about how the tragedy of our imperfections, fault and deeds can haunt us for life.

The events in the film are slow. But the story is good. It is worth the patience though.

I just ran across this movie last night and decided to give it a look mainly because Danny Glover is in it. Very interesting movie to say the least. Definitely worth the watch if you haven't seen it.

A Movie About Clairvoyance and One's Ability or Inability to Make Sense of it All and Connect the Dots for Some Kind of Understanding and Closure to Things that have Happened or Might Happen is the Complicated Plot of this Small Film from Canada. It is Difficult to Process (things that go on in the mind and in dreams or precognition) and making it Intriguing and Mysterious to an Audience is not the Easiest Way to Make a Thriller. But when it is done Well it can Make for a Unique and Unusual Movie that is Welcomed in the Paranormal and Sci-Fi Genre. The Premise can be Creepy and as the Viewer is Most Likely at Some Point in Their Lives through Dreams of Deja Vu can Latch On to it with an Uneasy Feeling Taken from the Uneasy Feeling that such Real Life Experiences can Bring On. This isn't a Fully Rendered Film about Danny Glover's Frustrating Predicament and there are Coincidences a Plenty and a bit too many Contrivances to Accept, but the Movie does Manage to Draw You into its World of Wondering What's Up just Enough to Pass as a Low-Key, Well Acted, but Ultimately Boxed In Entertainment and So Restrained by its Budget and Running Time that it Seems Rushed, Confusing, and Shackled. Overall, it is Definitely Worth a Watch for some Good Performances and an Interesting Story, but Fully Involved Fans of this Type of Thing will Most Likely End Up Wanting More than this can Deliver.

Although this movie is a little slow moving toward the beginning, the plot is pretty deep so moving too fast would mean you would miss more of the important bits like the other reviewer did, causing him to use the word "disjointed". This movie is not at all disjointed! It has so many well placed, easily missed "bits/clues" that if you blink you just may miss something...If you don't "get it", you were not paying attention! The pieces connect from the beginning right through to the end. There are some flashback scenes throughout the movie to fill in the blanks which, like I said, if you are not giving this movie your full attention you might lose your place! All in all a good watch...It is the type of movie that makes you think (in a good way)! NOT the dopey mush brain time waster that fills so much of the screens today!
