Operación: Juego final

This film is about a group of government spies who have to battle with each other, after their boss is mysteriously assassinated.

"Operation Endgame" has promise to be a good action film, but it fails to live up to expectations. All it has is senseless violence and plentiful of foul language. There is little else to enjoy. The plot is silly, the one thing that bugs me is why there are two surveillance guys watching the security cameras but they do not do anything to stop the situation. Their sole purpose in the film is reduced to giving cringes when violence results. It almost feels like those taped applause over talk shows, to show people what emotional reactions they should be displaying.

Last night i watched this movie with high expectations hoping for a lot of gun fights after seeing the poster, but there are none. Don't get me wrong it doesn't mean that this is a bad movie. It was actually pretty funny and had some good fight scenes.

I really liked it and enjoyed it. It was fun.

I really do recommend this movie to people.

If your expecting a gun crazy action movie - Don't bother at all.

If your expecting a comedy/action thats not to be taken seriously at all - Go for it!

I don't like giving bad reviews for movies. Every movie has it's own better and worse sides.This one I believe can be summed up in one word "Incredicrap". Due to my habit of finding the good, let's see... I liked Rob Corddry swearing monologue in front of the camera at the beginning of the movie. The names of the cast looks good (before the movie)... That's it. The bad: Everything. First of all I did not understand to which genre should this movie be allied to: Drama - No, Comedy - No, Action - definite no. Story: As bad as it can be. Boring and quite stupid. Acting: Rob and Zack are the only two relatively decent comedy actors in it. The rest, for lack of better word, suck. Action scenes: Neither funny, nor appealing or effective. In conclusion,Advice to all people, do not watch this one - It's just not worth it.

Somewhere beneath Washington, D.C., an intense rivalry is heating up between two opposing teams of government assassins. The hired killers in the organizations take their names from Tarot cards. The Fool (Joe Anderson) is the latest recruit. Reporting for his first day on the job, The Fool is shocked to find that his boss is dead, and the office is on lockdown. To make matters worse, the building has been rigged with explosives, and it's going to blow soon. Now, in order to get out alive, The Fool will have to root out the killer in his midst, and make a quick escape before his co-workers catch him in their crosshairs.

Operation Endgame, a satirical workplace comedy with a slick action twist is not without it's flaws. The plot is convoluted, most of the dialog is incredibly silly and the whole thing isn't that funny. Having said that, the film is damn entertaining. The cast is composed, among others, by Zach Galifianakis, Emilie de Ravin, Maggie Q, Rob Corddry, Ellen Barkin,Bob Odenkirk, Ving Rhames. There's plenty of star power here but, while some of the actors were delightful, others were completely underused. Being a battle royale of sorts, the deaths kept piling up and therefor some brilliant actors like Bob Odenkirk (who has been phenomenal in the TV show Breaking Bad) had very little screen time.

In the end, it's all about what you're expecting. Operation Endgame is no Oscar contender. This is mindless fun with a bit of action and gore in the middle and the film clearly doesn't take itself too serious and in my opinion it succeeded in what it intended to do which is, to entertain.

I am gonna explain what i wanna write with a metaphor.

If any of you has ever cooked from a cookbook before you will be sure to come across a recipe wherein you'll say to yourself 'that amount of salt can't be good' OR 'this much paprika...what do you wanna do? gimme an ulcer?!' OR 'that kinda butter is gonna give me a potbelly!'. So you adjust the ingredients, maybe even add a few of your own thinking you are gonna make the recipe your own, and then you find out the dish turned out bland and could have done without your own twists. It needed only those ingredients and in the quantity mentioned in the recipe to make it work.

I guess you get my point. When i came across the trailer it seemed to be a satirical action comedy with lots of gore to boot. And given the cast, it screamed awesome mindless fun.

But i guess the director decided that he needed to 'adjust the ingredients', maybe to make it his own style rather than a formulaic one. Well, sir, sometimes the formula is all that is needed. The action lacked the punch. There was blood and gore, yes, but the scene would cut to those 2 guys in 'corporate' making puking faces just when you though you are gonna see something really gross. The dialog, or rather the delivery, was sporadic at best - too rehearsed - almost like a B-movie. The action was badly choreographed and the camera angle shifted too many times for it to be smooth and coherent.

The premise of the movie couldn't be faulted though. Neither could the setting. Assassins having office-like cubicles and killing each other with office equipment is a cool idea. If only it could have been executed better.

I did not expect there to be a plot, and so the plot-twist at the end that tried to give some serious patriotic theme to the movie just felt 'bleh'. In fact, it did not make any sense at all.

Oh, if only the director had just stuck to the formula of max action, max gore and max comedy, then the premise and the actors themselves would have make this one a hit! Too bad!!
