Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
jwillrog I recommend "End Game" to all JFK buffs, as an example of covert propaganda. The premise is ridiculous and the conclusion outrageous. For the real "End Game", see the Alex Jones documentary. And for the real Secrect Service agent account, see Abraham Bolden's book. This film, and I hesitate to use that designation "film" as it is a padded hour TV show at best, cannot be taken seriously as entertainment. The 90 min. run time is merciful. I would think it was intended as a joke were it not in such bad taste. A suspension of disbelief is required and critical thinking will just spoil the intended effect which I assume is gullible acceptance of a twisted world view.
Julianne McFey This movie had a crazy good trailer, crazy good cast, and I was very excited to see it. The plot was action packed and mysterious. Just the right ingredients for a great thriller.Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Angie Harmon worked very well together. Great chemistry and clever quips between the two of them. The supporting cast was great and added a whole new layer to the plot. Being on the run from potential bad guys (everyone's a suspect), there are some tense moments.And the bad guys? The bad guys were very scary and very effective. I tell ya, this movie had it all. I was keyed on the entire time. From beginning to end. And just when you think you know who did it --- exactly. The ending will leave you wanting more, believe me.
callanvass End Game is a collection of clichés and it's nothing we haven't seen before. It wastes good talent abound here, including Cuba Gooding, James Woods and the lovely Anne Archer. End Game's main problem is the lack of thrills. There is endless talky scenes, with nothing of interest really happening in any of them. I've already stated my feelings on Cuba floundering in this type of crap, but James Woods must have really needed the pay check. Political thrillers i'm very picky on, because politics bore me in general so naturally the movie's gotta be thrilling. The twist at the end was obvious and I predicted it halfway through the movie, where as the action lovers will be bored to tears as there's not many explosions or that. There is one decent chase scene involving Cuba that impressed me quite a bit, unfortunately it was really the only quality thing about this movie.Performances. Cuba Gooding is mediocre here, and he's a world class actor when he wants to be. He slums around acting drunk and just looking miserable half the time. He wasn't terrible, but wasn't any good either. Angie Harmon is OK as the Reporter but nothing spectacular. James Woods cashes in a check and does a decent job of doing it. Anne Archer is OK in her role and adds a bit of class. Burt Reynolds is embarrassing himself plain and simple.Bottom line. There is really nothing of note here to recommend. It's not as bad as Devil's Tomb or Way Of War|heaven forbid| but it's still pretty bad. Not recommended.3/10
Comeuppance Reviews "End Game" is one of the biggest Direct-To-Video movies of the year. Like "Edison Force","The Big White", and "Grilled", it shows that any movie with a all-star cast and good premise can go DTV.The plot: The president has been assassinated. Secret Service Agent Alex Thomas (Gooding Jr.) feels responsible. He starts to fall into a deep depression. When reporter Kate Crawford (Harmon) realizes that there's a conspiracy about the killing, she enlists Thomas's help. When they start to dig deeper, The assassins start to target them and all witnesses. Can they escape? This movie was slated to have a theatrical release, so the action scenes are 100 times better than your usual Seagal\fast cut crud.The whole cast does a great job. I don't want to forget to mention James Woods and Burt Reynolds. They both put in their usual professionalism. They have a good confrontation in the beginning. The only problem with the movie is the ending, I won't spoil it, but I will say they don't stop while they're ahead.Overall, "End Game" is one of the best straight to video movies I've seen in a long while and if you like Cuba Gooding Jr. Or Woods, definitely check it out.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
