Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

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

callanvass End Game is a collection of clichés and it's nothing we haven't seen before. It wastes good talent abound here, including Cuba Gooding, James Woods and the lovely Anne Archer. End Game's main problem is the lack of thrills. There is endless talky scenes, with nothing of interest really happening in any of them. I've already stated my feelings on Cuba floundering in this type of crap, but James Woods must have really needed the pay check. Political thrillers i'm very picky on, because politics bore me in general so naturally the movie's gotta be thrilling. The twist at the end was obvious and I predicted it halfway through the movie, where as the action lovers will be bored to tears as there's not many explosions or that. There is one decent chase scene involving Cuba that impressed me quite a bit, unfortunately it was really the only quality thing about this movie.Performances. Cuba Gooding is mediocre here, and he's a world class actor when he wants to be. He slums around acting drunk and just looking miserable half the time. He wasn't terrible, but wasn't any good either. Angie Harmon is OK as the Reporter but nothing spectacular. James Woods cashes in a check and does a decent job of doing it. Anne Archer is OK in her role and adds a bit of class. Burt Reynolds is embarrassing himself plain and simple.Bottom line. There is really nothing of note here to recommend. It's not as bad as Devil's Tomb or Way Of War|heaven forbid| but it's still pretty bad. Not recommended.3/10

p-stepien Cuba Gooding Jr just hasn't had the best of script servicing after his rise to fame. Despite being an enticing personality this movie is I'm afraid not salvageable.The whole premise for the story is bordering on stupid. But it is nowhere as moronic as ultra secret service agents planting bombs to kill off an elderly lady and a homeless man. One would have thought they could come up with something at least the slightest bit subtle. But nope - big blasts and machine-gunning police cops in broad daylight is apparently very CIA slash secret agent type behaviour.The acting starts out on a real low and even Cuba looks dredge-awful... Everyone else in movie is at best unmemorable, but Angie Harmon makes a great effort at acting out of a paper bag. Unfortunately she fails miserably... but at least she tried.Nothing really good to say about this movie. It was trite, repetitive and needless, but well... it is watchable. With must count for something.

lastliberal 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.

guilfisher-1 I blame it on the writing first, directing second and finally some pretty bad performances. Cuba Gooding Jr. walking through the film with no focus, James Woods, a fine actor wasted in a nothing role; Anne Archer, who I like in much of her work, hardly in this and when she is, is not very good; David Selby wasted in more ways than one; Burt Reynolds makes an appearance and that's all. The worst of all is Angie Harmon as a snoopy reporter who would never get away with what she does in this. I was so happy when she gets beat up near the end. A well deserved smack in the mouth could have happened earlier in the film to shut this female up. Poking around getting others killed and not blinking an eye. She was just awful and ruined what was any chance of this being passable. Arrggghh!
