Very Cool!!!

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

A Brilliant Conflict

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

End Game is a gritty conspiracy action thriller from 2006 with Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing secret service agent Alex Thomas. Film starts with the preparation for a meeting which will be attended by the US president. Alex unsuccessfully attempts to protect the President from an assassin's bullet but he gets his hand injured. The assassin is gunned down by Alex and other agents. Unfortunately the President succumbs to the bullet injuries and dies in the hospital. Kate Crawford an investigative journalist played by Angie Harmon who was also present during the incident starts questioning people and whoever she questions ends up dead. What transpires is an elaborate conspiracy that is unravelled in a thrilling way. Alex and Kate dwell deep into it and try to find the true conspirators in the assassination of the president. Did they find it out and if they found, were they exposed? are some of the talking points of the movie. Director Andy Cheng's tight and gripping storytelling and action set pieces were nicely choreographed and conceived in great style by Cinematographer Charles Cohen. Worth watching.

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.

MST 3000 should do this movie. It is the worst acted movie I have ever seen. First of all, you find out that the shooter has no bank account and no history since leaving the army in 1993 and pays his rent in cash. There is no way in hell that a person like that would ever be allowed to be that close to a president not to mention a high profile job. Also, the head of security for the POTHUS would not be so emotional that he would start drinking into a haze if the president was shot. This movie sucked. I cannot express the extremite that this movie was. Every single actor was terrible. Even the chick at the trailer park. I crap on this garbage. What a waste of time.

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.
