The Worst Film Ever

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

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/

This was funny....really funny. Corddry had me in stitches in the opening scene. I had to rewind several times because I missed the rest of what he was saying due to laughter. The two security guards were likewise on point - great deadpan. There was humor throughout.I liked the characters and felt a subtle satire aimed at all the suave secret agent movies like Wanted, James Bond and Mission Impossible.Movie included fight scenes with ample violence and blood. Smart-ass dialog. Small romantic subplots. What is not to like here??? Just a really fun fly by your pants movie. I don't believe it is meant to be taken seriously, so sit back and enjoy.

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.

wow.. 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
