I get the feeling that here they wanted the kills of a horror movie, combined with some Reservoir Dogs intrigue spat in for good measure. Unfortunately quite some flaws limit the thrill of the kills and the intrigue is lacking.The acting is not problematic, but it's not engaging either. Especially casting Ving Rhames, who's acting... well, a Ving Rhames, really takes me off the movie. And all the younger female actors look more like swimsuit models than professional killers. Don't get me wrong, my eyes like the candy as much as the next guy's, but if your hands look more used to holding a designer clutch bag than a handgun or a potent blade, I see no reason why you would even share a room with potentially hostile and definitely more physical male killers.Also, I didn't find myself laughing at any point. Not that the attempts at humor were somehow embarrassing, but they were just so out-of-place here. They would've been more at home in a sitcom or a teen movie.Lastly, while the variety of weapons wielded was commendable, the violence wasn't disturbingly cold or overwhelmingly blazing hot, it just kinda was and happened. And the cgi-blood didn't do the flatness any favors.All'n'all, it wasn't a total disaster, but if a splatter comedy is to be recommended, this is not it. Tucker & Dale vs Evil or Severance do the sub-genre more justice, not to mention any such film by Pegg and/or Frost.

I tend to use 7.5 as the lowest IMDb rating of a film to indicate whether it is worth watching. I just saw this - still am watching it - on a satellite channel and wondered what the rating was, as I thought that it was a total waste of broadcast time.So I am not surprised that it is rated below 5 - that is well below what I have determined to be the rating of films worth watching.I see some reviewers - such as Mr Scoup from the USA - think that this is "funny really funny". I can only assume he doesn't get out much.This was so bad that not only did I feel it necessary to find out what its IMDb rating was, but I also felt that I should warn people not to waste their time on it. There are so many better films and TV programs out there. Even for Mr Scoup.

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.

I 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.
