Boring, long, and too preachy.

... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreDescribing the flaws of this movie would take up too much space. But, the main thing is - it's not very fun or funny. It has a few moments, but nothing special.But, it's not terrible.So, what's good about it?The women are hot. Ellen Barkin looks _amazing_ for her age. Others, not so much, but are hot.The whole ensemble cast is pretty strong, don't take themselves or the whole thing seriously and just go with it. Since the whole thing is bad, they can't get much out of it, but, still, they pull out something.The underlying premise that people in government agencies, even deadly ones, either don't really care about their jobs or are crazy is also nice and to the point.You do get a feeling that the whole idea and the cast could have made something much, much better, but, what we're left with is just not that good and really worth watching. There are much better comedies out there.
... View MoreWhen I sat down to watch "Operation: Endgame" (aka "Rogues Gallery") I had no idea at all what the movie was about. The reason why I wanted to watch it was because of the people on the cast list.I found out that this was an action comedy, although I will admit that the movie is more lenient towards the action as it towards comedy. The comedy is there, yes, but it is fairly subtle but straight to the point.The story is about a group of government assassins who work in a secret underground compound. The assassins are known only by the names from the Tarot card deck. And when new assassin, The Fool, arrives for his first work day, the boss of the operation is killed and operation: endgame is initiated, giving the assassins only limited time to escape the compound. But some assassins have been given secret targets to kill, and with nowhere to run, whom can you trust? I will say that the storyline was entertaining, albeit a bit silly.There is nothing in the movie to make you buy into it, and as such it does come off as a comedy on the action genre. The storyline is simplistic and easy to follow, requiring you to disable your brain and just sit back and enjoy the ride.Although working with fairly two-dimensional characters, there was an impressive list of people to be found on the cast list here.For a comedy, then "Operation: Endgame" didn't really deliver that much impact, and if you enjoy these type of covert government operation comedies, then there are some better choices available. But still, "Operation: Endgame" is worth a watch for about 87 minutes worth of entertainment that doesn't require you to bring along your brain.
... View Morewow.. uh..where to start..this seemed like a good idea,and i laughed the first 20 minutes.. but then..what happened?!a-list actors getting killed off? nobody-actors running around doing stuff? whats up with the story? i fastforwarded the movie after the hour mark,i didn't want to waste my time watching this excuse for a movie.good idea,but bad effort.3/10
... View MoreI must say that money was well spent on the picturization and effects of the movie but the storyline was just awful. I just kept looking at the timer bar to see when the darn movie is going to be over. Oh and the movie is just 1hr10 mins, thats it? How stupid. I know some people might not like my comments about the movie but then again, I don't care, and I can be sure that they don't have any taste in movies WHATSOEVER!!!! Trust me, save time, watch another movie but this. Oh and before I end this review, I must say that the cast was good, not bad, famous people, and they opted to make a movie like this? It's like they weren't getting any other contracts for movies, and just wanted to make a few bucks. Anyways, Hope this review helps.
