Nonureva Really Surprised!

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

bowmanblue Sometimes you may want a film to twist and turn, keeping you guessing at all times. Other times, you may just want a bit of straightforward carnage. This is the latter.It's about a top secret base, located under Washington, where two teams of secret agents try to kill each other off. We're introduced to each one briefly, before their boss is killed and the two teams go to war.What follows is one fight scene after the next, until the killer is finally revealed. Unfortunately, that's all it is. It is quite a short film and having many characters means that most of them are pretty one-dimensional stereotypes who you won't really care if they live or die. Plus some of the good characters are killed off too early, leaving the annoying ones still standing.On the plus side, the base is under constant surveillance and the two men charged with overseeing the mayhem are quite funny as they watch the bloodshed unfold without being able to affect the outcome.The budget is pretty small - don't expect any 'Matrix-like' fight scenes, but at least the duelling is well done, with the agents utilising one piece of office equipment after the next to despatch their adversary.Operation: Endgame isn't anything special, but if you like seeing people keep fighting each other in a 'last man standing' kind of way then you won't waste too much time watching the eighty minutes that it is.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Jeff Allen This movie gets a 10 because Joe Anderson is in it! He is an excellent actor! I have enjoyed his performances every since I first saw him in "The Crazies". He is wonderful in everything he does. I am slowly buying every DVD he is in. He is a beautiful man with wonderful talents. Did you know he sings? How about that he's a gymnast? Just gaze into those beautiful blue eyes and I guarantee you will be swept away too! I don't know how his wife handles having that sexy man around all the time!? Please begin watching Joe Anderson's performances. Let's make him a SUPER star! I'm sure he is enjoying the movies he is making now, but I believe he deserves so much more. I wish I knew how I could help his career.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain 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.

MBunge What happened to the funny? This thing started out funny. Its premise of CIA black ops as just another corporate work environment was funny. Rob Corddry was absolutely killing it with the funny. Then…the funny went away. I don't know where it went. I don't know why it went. All I know is this bait-and-switch replaced the funny with limp political commentary and fight scenes that ranged from passable to "I've seen better hand-to-hand combat on Star Trek".I hesitate to describe this film's set up because you might be tempted to watch it no matter how much I tell you it ends up sucking. Well, here goes…On the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, a new agent (Joe Anderson) starts work at The Factory. That's the super-secret base of two teams of competing spies/assassins, Alpha and Omega, who are basically responsible for every bad thing that's every happened in the world. The teams hate each other with a passion and are a combination of corporate stereotypes like the Aging Slut (Ellen Barkin), the Alcoholic Burnout (Rod Corddry) and the Office Weirdo (Brandon T. Jackson). Then the guy in charge of The Factory turns up dead, a self-destruct program is triggered and the two teams need to work together to escape, but they decide killing each other is a better way to spend their time.Everything about the beginning of Operation: Endgame plays out like a satire of corporate culture. From the agents all working out of little cubicles to those cubicles having name plates with the agents' code names, there are so many little touches that are laugh out loud when you notice them. And by starting out with the over-the-top anger and bitterness of Corddry's character being paired off with the blank slate of Joe Anderson's new guy, everything seems primed for this to be a delightful black comedy. Then…the funny goes away.Aside from a few scenes with Ellen Barkin, this movie abandons jokes and humorous transposition of corporate ethos into the world of James Bond and Jason Borne. Instead, it turns into an action/espionage romp, with a cast that mostly doesn't know how to stage fight, that slobbers all over you with the Bush to Obama transfer as a metaphor. It devolves from something truly clever into the same crap you've seen a thousand times before, just a bit more pretentious this time around.I'm usually not disappointed by bad movies because their badness is made clear early on. With Operation: Endgame, however, it's like the first third of the script was written by a smart person trying to have some fun and the rest was written by someone less smart who was just trying to earn a paycheck. If you do watch this film, take my advice. When you notice you've gone 5 minutes without laughing at anything, turn it off because it's not going to get any better.
