By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Describing the flaws of this movie would take up too much space. But, the main thing is - it's not very fun or funny. It has a few moments, but nothing special.But, it's not terrible.So, what's good about it?The women are hot. Ellen Barkin looks _amazing_ for her age. Others, not so much, but are hot.The whole ensemble cast is pretty strong, don't take themselves or the whole thing seriously and just go with it. Since the whole thing is bad, they can't get much out of it, but, still, they pull out something.The underlying premise that people in government agencies, even deadly ones, either don't really care about their jobs or are crazy is also nice and to the point.You do get a feeling that the whole idea and the cast could have made something much, much better, but, what we're left with is just not that good and really worth watching. There are much better comedies out there.
Well, first of all, I'm giving the movie a ten to balance the awful grades it has gotten. And yes, this IS a good movie to watch: it's entertaining, funny and it CAN happen, or has, if you think about it.If you have heard any conspiracy theories throughout your life, even if you totally blow them off, you have to watch this movie. And of course, this movie is not for everyone, you have to know a little American history and have a little of an open mind to digest it, but still, I predict it will became a c.c.In other reviews I've read, I saw a lot of criticism towards the actors, like they were "phoning it in" (which I totally disagree), I think they're missing the point, the movie is not about an specific character or action scenes, it's about the situation, and that's why this movie is funny!I really hope you watch it. Enjoy!!!
This was funny....really funny. Corddry had me in stitches in the opening scene. I had to rewind several times because I missed the rest of what he was saying due to laughter. The two security guards were likewise on point - great deadpan. There was humor throughout.I liked the characters and felt a subtle satire aimed at all the suave secret agent movies like Wanted, James Bond and Mission Impossible.Movie included fight scenes with ample violence and blood. Smart-ass dialog. Small romantic subplots. What is not to like here??? Just a really fun fly by your pants movie. I don't believe it is meant to be taken seriously, so sit back and enjoy.
Officespace with violent eliminations. Operation Endgame sees the film begin with the menial chitter chatter and bickering you'd find in an office environment. It soon descends into violent chaos as these assassins and spies have to off one another. The well placed humor soon gives way to awesome fight scenes, enacted with blunt realism by it's mostly comedic cast. Barkin and Yustman are both incredibly sexy and dangerous, with Corddry cementing himself as an angry comic presence after both this and Hot Tub Time Machine. It is all brisk and quotable, and excels with some genuine surprises and the lack of guns as available weapons. The only downer is that the office relationships soon give way to the plot and action. An unexpected treat that nails the hilarity and action sequences with surprising competence and style.
