Review by Dimitris

“Echoes of Neon” is what happens when you feed Blade Runner, Drive, and a late-night existential crisis into a neon-lit blender. It’s slick, moody, and soaked in synth. But beneath the aesthetics is a beating heart — tired, broken, and desperate to be human in a world that forgot how.

The story centers on a rogue A.I. detective (yes, really) hunting down illegal memory traders while questioning whether his memories are even real. Classic, right? But what makes it land is the intimacy. Every whisper feels louder than a gunshot, every stare more powerful than an explosion.

This isn’t a popcorn movie — it’s a cigarette-at-midnight movie. You don’t watch it; you sink into it.

Verdict:
Gritty, glowing, and a little bit broken — just like us. Not flawless, but that’s the point.
