Director: Jim Cliffe.
Writers: Jim Cliffe, and Melodie Krieger.
Cast: Danny Glover, Bruce Greenwood and Natasha Calis.
Donovan's Echo was the final film to show at the Victoria Film Festival and this is a "psychological thriller" starring Danny Glover as director Jim Cliffe mentioned. This was a late showing on a Sunday night and this critic was looking for a few more thrills in Cliffe's movie debut. The director intentionally made the film in such a way to build the tension until the final climax.
There is no doubt that this is an above average film; however, there could have been more conflict in the early parts of the film. That aside, the story begins with Glover as Donovan, a retired physicist. Donovan had worked on the Manhattan Project, the experiment to develop the atomic bomb. Along the way, Donovan had also delved into cold fusion, but now he is...

I’ve always maintained the belief that Danny Glover has to be one of the most employable actors around and here’s my latest proof. The film, titled Donovan’s Echo, stars Glover as a mathematician and primarily focuses on the “deja vu” concept.
A description for the film states…”Donovan Matheson (Danny Glover) is a brilliant mathematician who, as a young man, helped develop the atomic bomb. Plagued by regret in the years that followed, Donovan grew obsessed with making a positive contribution to the scientific community, neglecting family and friends in favor of personal and professional redemption. His neglect results in an accidental tragedy. Overcome with guilt, Donovan withdraws from life and relationships for decades. Thirty years later, Donovan returns home and as the anniversary of the tragic event approaches, he discovers an unsettling similarity between random events of the present and events that occurred in the past.
