This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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.

I would recommend everyone just go and watch the show Archer instead of this frustratingly stupid piece of work, which essentially comes off like a bunch of less-than-exceptional college film students with way too much budget attempting to be the show Archer. The premise, that top espionage agents curse and yell at each other in the manner of 19-year-olds pregaming a house party, gets tired within the first 5 minutes, as soon as you realize that the writers really don't have any other comedic ideas to offer, and that the story and characters themselves are all mind-numbingly uninteresting. Besides this fundamental lack of vision, the other flaw that really does this film in is its inability to set the right tone, which flounders around between lame indie drama, badly-choreographed action scenes, and amateur-improv-group-style comedic exchanges.

Officespace with violent eliminations. Operation Endgame sees the film begin with the menial chitter chatter and bickering you'd find in an office environment. It soon descends into violent chaos as these assassins and spies have to off one another. The well placed humor soon gives way to awesome fight scenes, enacted with blunt realism by it's mostly comedic cast. Barkin and Yustman are both incredibly sexy and dangerous, with Corddry cementing himself as an angry comic presence after both this and Hot Tub Time Machine. It is all brisk and quotable, and excels with some genuine surprises and the lack of guns as available weapons. The only downer is that the office relationships soon give way to the plot and action. An unexpected treat that nails the hilarity and action sequences with surprising competence and style.

I watch a ton of movies, some great, some terrible, and some just OK. This one I would sum up in one word...fun. There's some good laughs, people die, there's a bit of mystery, what more could you want?! Other than super powers or lightsabers that is. oh and perhaps some hot chick nudity would have been nice, there's none of that in this...sigh...but I digress, I'ld never heard of this before watching it but I'm glad I did.A note to all you Zach Galifianakis fans, if you're watching this movie just because he's in it...he's barely in it, but Rob Corddry is pretty damn funny, also I would normally like a better explanation of things at the end of a movie but this one was fun to watch so I'll forgive it.
