Echoes of The Past | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix
Very engaging story about rich folks telling lies, hiding the truth about a fatal scuba diving accident. The patriarch convinces the dead girl's brother to plead guilty to manslaughter, telling him he'll only serve one year in prison. Something goes sideways, it's never explained why, and he is sent to prison for 15 years. Now he is out and he is looking for revenge, so we get to go digging through everyone's vague and distorted memories of what happened. Everyone is a suspect, but confusion is your only real clue.
Seems that the scuba diving accident should not have been fatal, the girl wasn't that deep, maybe 15 or 20 feet down, and her air hose sprung a leak. Seems like she should have been able to easily surface, but then who knows what actually happened. I mean, scuba diving is inherently risky, so maybe she got a mouthful of water and choked. Who knows?
There are a number of fight scenes including a confusing one in a hotel hallway with the fire sprinklers going off and all the other guests trying to evacuate their rooms while our two guys try to take out the hired killer.
The finale is perfectly tragic - three of the principles, two of whom were suspect, but none of whom were guilty, all kill each other and the girl who caused all this trouble finally realizes what she has done.
