Somewhere beneath Washington,… More A satirical workplace comedy with a slick action twist, Fouad Mikati's Operation: Endgame explores the violence that erupts when the organization charged with protecting America implodes, and the employees turn their guns on each other instead of their enemies. Somewhere beneath Washington, D.C., an intense rivalry is heating up between two opposing teams of government assassins. The hired killers in the organizations take their names from Tarot cards. The Fool (Joe Anderson) is the latest recruit. Reporting for his first day on the job, The Fool is shocked to find that his boss is dead, and the office is on lockdown. To make matters worse, the building has been rigged with explosives, and it's going to blow soon. Now, in order to get out alive, The Fool will have to root out the killer in his midst, and make a quick escape before his co-workers catch him in their crosshairs. Ellen Barkin, Zach Galifianakis, Rob Corddry, and Jeffrey Tambor star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
This not-quite-straight-to-video release offers some acidic pleasures.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
This terrifically populated but supremely dumb action comedy will be a hell of a lot of fun when you happen across it on late-night cable.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
As the body count climbs and a pair of bickering surveillance guys watch in jaded fascination, the director, Fouad Mikati, reveals himself to be far more competent with blunt trauma than subtle interaction.
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
If the script ... spent as much time on character development as it did concocting its raft of explicitly vulgar putdowns, it might have had some actual flesh on its bones.
-
R. L. Shaffer, IGN DVD
Operation: Endgame is a film more about the journey than the destination. Forget that the film has a real plot and focus in on the brutally hilarious one-liners, snarky sarcasm and biting cynicism the film oozes in the first half.
