Adrian Paul, Christopher Lambert, Bruce Payne

Despite a typically haphazard plot, Highlander: Endgame is a marked improvement over previous sequels. This is the "torch-passing" chapter, in which the Immortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lam...( read more  read more... )bert) passes his life force to his heroic brother, Duncan (Adrian Paul, star of the 1993-96 Highlander TV series). These appealing stars make a fine onscreen duo, and Paul is a terrific choice to keep the franchise alive--strikingly handsome but possessing enough gravitas to make the prospect of future sequels unexpectedly promising. The movie is incoherent to the uninitiated, but established fans will be reasonably impressed by Endgame's cagey mix of romance, swordplay, and history-spanning action. While the movie's chaotic construction is regrettable, the frequent battles (including dazzling work by Honk Kong action star Donnie Yen) are adequately impressive, and Douglas Milsome--cinematographer of Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket--ensures that every scene is strikingly photographed. All in all, Highlander: Endgame is surprisingly worthwhile. --Jeff Shannon

    An awsome and spectacularly entertaining action-packed thrill-ride. Dazzeling, thrilling and breathtaking. A worthy sequel combining both the film and television franchieses together in one great flick. Loaded with great fight scenes and swashbuckling sword-play. A film of great ...( read more)passion, emotinal power, character studies and gripping storytelling. Adrian Paul and Christopher Lambert are magnifient, the chemistry between the two is flawless. A nice slice of great popcorn action movie fun.

    This being the last installment of the Highlander movie series is a brilliant blend of the original movie and the popular television characters. The story line is weaved through past history and picks up where the television series ended. I enjoyed this series very much. This is ...( read more)an emotional movie for diehard Highlander fans.
