Review of Operation: Endgame (2010) by Jon F — 24 Jul 2010

Officespace with violent eliminations. Operation Endgame sees the film begin with the menial chitter chatter and bickering you'd find in an office environment. It soon descends into violent chaos as these assassins and spies have to off one another.

The well placed humor soon gives way to awesome fight scenes, enacted with blunt realism by it's mostly comedic cast. Barkin and Yustman are both incredibly sexy and dangerous, with Corddry cementing himself as an angry comic presence after both this and Hot Tub Time Machine.

It is all brisk and quotable, and excels with some genuine surprises and the lack of guns as available weapons. The only downer is that the office relationships soon give way to the plot and action. An unexpected treat that nails the hilarity and action sequences with surprising competence and style.
