Format:DVD
There are times when you want to watch a film that doesn't rely on intricate plot twists, where the budget isn't huge and it entertains without any real brain power required.
That's exactly what you get with this title and whilst the DVD cover is misleading the title does pretty much what the viewer wants: Trained Assassin's murdering each other with everyday office items.
It did what I wanted, it kept me amused and whilst the characters were acceptable (although to be honest I wanted more Ving Rhames) for the budget it wasn't that bad especially when it chose to rely on traditional Effects over the all too common computer generated ones. Whilst it won't set the world alight it will keep a certain percentage of the audience happy. If you want a thriller with more twists which keeps you going longer, then you might want to try Salt.

(What's this?)
A new generation of films have sprung up which I variously term 'post-game' or 'hyper-plot'. What do I mean?
Simply this: a film is set up with an initial scenario, some event and then the unfolding of that event - while uncovering the truth behind the original scenario.
This film follows the same trajectory. The event of the film is full of action and dominates screen time - done quite well, no real characters but plenty of fighting, screaming, surprises and laughs!
Ving Rhames doesn't last that long either.
It's a bit like watching a scripted game, in that the pieces on the board follow fairly prescribed rules and the dynamic unfolds linearly.
A distraction from life - but an entertaining one. Some great humour in the two characters watching the drama unfold on their screens..

(What's this?)
Operation: Endgame is a mayhem thriller which neatly orchestrates the ingredients of two teams of assassins trapped in a building which is about to explode, literally at each others throats and facing oblivion.
To be brutally honest, you are unlikely to be watching this film again and again. The premise is spicy enough, but you may well guess the ending before you get there, which really robs it of its replay value. On the other hand, for what it is, this is really quite clever, makes some interesting points on the way, and joins the dots of the fight scenes neatly enough. These are decisively done, and get a lot out of the makeshift nature of the weapons the assassins are forced to employ against each other.
Great for a late evenings viewing. It will never be more than it is, but what it is is thumping enough.

Operation: Endgame is an action movie and doesn't pretend to be anything more. It's plot is pretty thin and acts as a setup for what is to come; mostly fighting. Read more

An implausible thriller - an unlikely comedy.
This is the typical `Marmite' film - you'll either love it or hate it (my wife hated it) and there is no right or wrong in either view. Read more
