User Reviews

As amateurish as you can imagine

In the 1980s, with the home video market emerging and providing lucrative to independent filmmakers, some independent filmmakers made movies for the market with their video cameras and with very little money. Almost all of these movies were unbelievably awful. "End Game" seems to be an homage to those ultra cheap movies, with not much improvement in filmmaking skill. Although I paid only $1.40 (including tax) for this movie, I felt ripped off by what I saw. Though this movie is not videotaped, the visual look is all the same extremely tacky and cheap. There is almost nothing in the way of production values, with the movie shooting on location instead of on sets, and often with no spotlights brought in to light things up. The acting, while not the worst I've seen, leaves A LOT to be desired. The worst thing about the entire enterprise has to be the script. The story is EXTREMELY slow- moving and does everything it can to delay things before the end, with absolutely no mystery or suspense along the way. Even if you are a fan of Kurt Angle in the wrestling ring, this isn't even a movie to see for free on a slow night.
