Goofs

Halfway through the fight scene between High Priestess and Tower, two of the shots of High Priestess are clearly flipped - all of the labels of the boxes in the background are suddenly backwards in those two shots. See more »

Quotes

Chariot: [to Fool] I tried to read your file but it bored the shit out of me. Sort of like "Thomas Crown" without the pussy.

Very odd

Rogue's Gallery, given the slightly lamer title of Operation: Endgame, is a very odd little amalgamation of extreme violence, comedic banter and wannabe spy intrigue. It concerns a group of government agents holed up in some remote bunker, basically taking each other out one by one after someone among them murders their boss, Emporer (Bob Odenkirk). The cast is made up of two types of actors: sleek, distinct genre bad asses and quirky, less aesthetically streamlined comedians who stand out in this type of material very strangely. Fool (Joe Anderson) is the rookie, being shown the ropes of his first day by Chariot (a hilarious Rob Cordry). That's where the plot starts, and that is also where it lost me. The rest of the film is just all of them bickering until it gets way beyond words, and then murdering each other in shamelessly gratuitous ways. Ellen Barkin stands out as Empress, a b&@tchy old tart who has it in for Devil (Jeffrey Tambor) another senior operative. Emilie De Ravin steps wayyyy outside her comfort zone as Hierophant, a psychotic little doll faced southern Belle who gives hulking Juggernaut (Ving Rhames) a run for his money. There's also work from Odette Yustman, Maggie Q, Adam Scott, Brandon T. Jackson, and Zach Galifianakis as a weird character that I still can't figure out, perhaps because he does not much of anything at all except mope around wearing a hazmat suit and looking very hungover. It's cool to see these actors give each other hell and fight like two raccoons in a burlap sack (the violence in this is really vicious, especially when Ravin is involved), if not much else. Very odd stuff.
