Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
jameswilliams784 I felt compelled to do this review after reading so many very negative reviews of this movie. This movie is certainly not a classic, but it is a decent thriller. Yes sometimes the story gets a bit predictable and could use some more suspense. The moves stars Angie Harmon and Cuba Gooding Jr and both are very good in this movie. Angie plays a reporter trying to investigate the Assassination of the President and Cuba Gooding Jr plays a Secret Service agent who is also trying to find out who killed the President. Anne Archer has a much to small role in this movie, she is a great actress and movie could have used her character having a larger role. James Woods and Burt Reynolds are also in the movie and do a decent job, which in the case of Burt Reynolds is surprising to me since I hardly ever like a movie he is in. I think for me what this movie was lacking was some romance. It could have been between Angie and Cuba, or even perhaps with Cuba having an affair with Anne Archer but something was needed to spice up this movie. Still this is a very watchable movie, sit back and enjoy it.
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
p-stepien Cuba Gooding Jr just hasn't had the best of script servicing after his rise to fame. Despite being an enticing personality this movie is I'm afraid not salvageable.The whole premise for the story is bordering on stupid. But it is nowhere as moronic as ultra secret service agents planting bombs to kill off an elderly lady and a homeless man. One would have thought they could come up with something at least the slightest bit subtle. But nope - big blasts and machine-gunning police cops in broad daylight is apparently very CIA slash secret agent type behaviour.The acting starts out on a real low and even Cuba looks dredge-awful... Everyone else in movie is at best unmemorable, but Angie Harmon makes a great effort at acting out of a paper bag. Unfortunately she fails miserably... but at least she tried.Nothing really good to say about this movie. It was trite, repetitive and needless, but well... it is watchable. With must count for something.
lastliberal This film premiered at the Ft. Lauderdale Film Festival and then dropped out of sight, not opening in theaters, but going straight to video. Probably a wise choice. It is good enough for video and TV, but not quite good enough for the screen. It just doesn't have that something extra to make it a great film, but it is not a total waste of time, either.I have to admit that I tuned in to see Christa Campbell, who plays the President's mistress. I didn't get to see anything more than her lips talking into the telephone. Big disappointment, but hey, it's Christa. It will keep me satisfied until my copy of Death By Engagement arrives.It is the first I have seen of Cuba Gooding, Jr. in a long time, and he did a good job. Plenty of action as he goes after those responsible for the assignation of the President. Angie Harmon, one of the best Assistant DAs on Law and Order, was great as his partner in solving the mystery of who killed the President. Certainly an interesting twist to the usual assignation plot.Always like seeing Anne Archer, and she was classy as a First lady. James Woods and Burt Reynolds had small but interesting parts.
