Sometimes you may want a film to twist and turn, keeping you guessing at all times. Other times, you may just want a bit of straightforward carnage. This is the latter.
It's about a top secret base, located under Washington, where two teams of secret agents try to kill each other off. We're introduced to each one briefly, before their boss is killed and the two teams go to war.What follows is one fight scene after the next, until the killer is finally revealed. Unfortunately, that's all it is. It is quite a short film and having many characters means that most of them are pretty one-dimensional stereotypes who you won't really care if they live or die. Plus some of the good characters are killed off too early, leaving the annoying ones still standing.
On the plus side, the base is under constant surveillance and the two men charged with overseeing the mayhem are quite funny as they watch the bloodshed unfold without being able to affect the outcome.
The budget is pretty small - don't expect any `Matrix-like' fight scenes, but at least the duelling is well done, with the agents utilising one piece of office equipment after the next to despatch their adversary.
Operation: Endgame isn't anything special, but if you like seeing people keep fighting each other in a `last man standing' kind of way then you won't waste too much time watching the eighty minutes that it is.
