Nadine Salakov End Game has decent performances, but the plot is slow-paced, the editing is awful as the film feels like 2 hours and thirty minutes long when it is only actually 1 hour and thirty minutes.We follow this investigator throughout who may as well have the Black Death Plague as everyone she talks to ends up getting killed.This flick is so dull (even though it tries to be exciting) that you don't even care what happens by the end, they try to make the story line mysterious, but it is just tiring.This is not even a standard drama thriller, it's just a boring excuse for a thriller.

bkoganbing Angie Harmon who seems to have more success on the small then the big screen with Law&Order and Rizzoli&Isles to her credit teams up with Cuba Gooding, Jr. to investigate nothing less than the assassination of President Jack Scalia. In fact it was rather a freakish event in and of itself. The assassin's bullet passed through Secret Service Agent Gooding's hand and may have changed direction ever so slightly and killed Scalia. That's left Gooding bummed and looking for answers.Harmon plays an investigative reporter looking for the truth as well. But this particular president led a secret life as well along the lines of JFK and Gooding was the one who kept the secrets. He and Harmon team up for the investigation, but Gooding feels a loyalty to his former boss and wants to preserve his legacy. At some point they could be working at cross purposes.The action is exciting however the story had a lot of holes in it. Harmon and Gooding work well together. They could have used some better direction as well. Playing a most mysterious role is a retired general Burt Reynolds. He definitely knows more than he's letting out.Fans of the two leads should like this one.

Gideon Cresswell At first, I thought this movie was one of those clever movies that are so complicated you don't get it until right near the end. Then the end came (abruptly) and I was still none the wiser. Then(!), I thought that maybe it was supposed to leave you guessing. But the more I think about it, that's not the case at all. It was just plain crap. There were no subliminal clues and clever plot, just used toilet roll for a storyline!This film appears to me (especially towards the end) as if about 20 minutes of footage has been removed from the final cut - unfortunately those 20 mins contain the answers to the characters questions! This film is like 'Memento' in how messed up it is, except this film plays forwards.

pheyrman Some guy gets whacked. Right out in plain sight this other guy shoots him. He's got some bodyguards and they whack the killer, but a reporter gets interested. She goes to the hospital where they took the guy who got whacked. She walks in, and corners one bodyguard, but he doesn't feel like talking. I can't figure out why. It's not like anyone else is interested. She's the only reporter there. Anyway, her editor discourages her from working on this lame story. But hey, she does anyway. She goes to see the killer's sister & mom. A few minutes after she leaves they get whacked big time-- somebody blows up their trailer-- huge ball of fire. Then she searches out the bodyguard from the hospital. She finds him hungover on his boat, but a minute later they're both underwater sucking on a scuba tank 'cause three guys are trying to whack them (and have blown up the boat big time-- huge ball of fire). The reporter and the bodyguard whack two of the guys who are trying to whack them. In the course of the next hour another guy gets whacked crossing the street, there's a shootout with several stiffs in a warehouse, some car chases with wreckage & death, a fake suicide, etc. etc. Lotsa stiffs, all kindsa carnage. Great stuff, but what the reporter and the bodyguard can't figure is: why in hell the original guy got whacked. What's the motivation? Of course, it might help us to figure out why the reporter's even interested. Through almost all of this she's the only reporter on the story. Nobody else in the media cares. Not even with all the big fireballs and dead bodies. True, the original guy who got whacked wasn't exactly a celebrity. His job was a little bit dull. He was just the President. Yeah, the one who lives in the White House. Oh, and the bodyguard is a Secret Service agent.Is that the spoiler?It should be. After all there are no TV cameras, no other print reporters, no bloggers... just another one of those police blotter crimes...So what's the spoiler?Lemme think...No! Wait! The spoiler is that his wife did it! Yeah... the First Lady. She was p---ed because the President was fooling around. And she gets away with it. She's really sharp, huh? But how the hell could anybody ever figure that out? Why would anyone bother? After all, only one reporter is even interested. I give this move a "1". It was so dumb I just had to keep watching. And it only got dumber! That's the real spoiler! But even though I've told you, you've got to see it to believe it!
