Editorial Review:
An assassination whodunit, End Game stars Cuba Gooding Jr. as Alex Thomas, a Secret Service agent assigned to protect the president of the United States. When the president is killed during his watch, Alex is wracked with guilt. Plucky investigative reporter Kate Crawford (Angie Harmon from Law & Order) convinces him that the gunman didn't act alone and that a conspiracy theory in this case is valid. Gooding plays his role with quiet reserve, a 180-degree departure from his over-the-top Oscar-winning performance in Jerry Maguire. Harmon displays charm as the award-winning and highly unrealistic journalist. And Burt Reynolds shows up for a few minutes here and there to chew up the scenery as a general who may or may not be a rogue agent. Directed and co-written by Andy Cheng, the film has some thrilling action sequences. But its plot is transparent and when the mastermind behind the assassination is revealed, no one will be surprised. --Jae-Ha Kim

Rating:  - Show Me the Plot ... and a Decent One
Cuba Gooding Jr. stars this direct-to-video political/action thriller as Alex, dedicated Secret Service agent. Angie Harmon is Kate, Pulitzer-winning writer working for the newspaper "Washington Insider," who gets wind of a story when President of the United States is assassinated. James Woods plays the boss of Alex; Burt Reynolds is a retired general and Anne Archer is The First Lady.
The cast of "End Game" is reasonable, but none of them is allowed to show what they can do in this ... Read More
Rating:  - Good movie
I actually caught part of this movie on Lifetime, but as with other lifetime movies they don't show too often. So came to amazon to purchase. It was really a good movie. Lots of action and the storyline was good.

The Not-Too-Revealing-Synopsis:
Secret Service investigation into an assassination. Conspiracy theories, hit men who is your ally and who is your friend.
Review:
The plot was interesting enough to want to know who did it. The acting was good, characters were above average. The bad guy coverup just seemed half-hearted and full of holes. The interplay between reporter and secret service agent was questionable and the ending is unsatisfying. If you watch it ... Read More
Rating: - In search of a screenwriter
End Game is underrated because of the lack of a good ending. The movie itself moves along and follows a decent plot. The acting isn't bad at all. It reminded me of movies like "Absolute Power", "The Sentinel", "Line of Fire", and most recently "Vantage Point". The only problem is those movies had solid endings, and this one does not. Cuba Gooding turns in a good performance and this could have been a hit for him if they and went a little further with the conclusion. What you don't think it would have ... Read More
Rating: - gee, maybe I can make a movie too....
Easily, one of the worst movies of its genre. Does it rise to the level of unintentially hilarious?--for me, yes.
