What the critics say

Critics mostly call Eko an atmospheric, well-crafted mystery thriller with strong performances and a standout screenplay, though some find the second half loses momentum once the twist is telegraphed and the climax left open-ended.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 7 readings; 3 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
