Meet the World's Deadliest Assassin

OK, so the title kind of sucks. Operation: Endgame is somewhere between a Queensrÿche album and a direct-to-video Dean Cain action movie. And the story — the quick-witted band of deadly killers — is getting a little over-used, between The Losers, The Expendables, Red and whatever else is out there. The project is a first for the director (Fouad Mikati), and both screenwriters (Sam Levinson and Brian Watanabe).

But goddamn it, this trailer just worked for me. I’m not under the illusion that it’s going to be great — but I do think there’s a good chance that Operation: Endgame will be entertaining and pretty damn funny. It also has the world’s most bizarre cast — Maggie Q, Ving Rhames, Joe Anderson (who was the best part of The Crazies), Jeffrey Tambor, Odette Yustman’s ass, Rob Corddry, Ellen Barkin (who is still ruthlessly bringing the sexy), Bob Odenkirk, Brandon T. Jackson, Emilie De Ravin, and Zach Galifianakis.

I mean, how do you read that list and not be intrigued?

Watch the trailer. Am I crazy, or does it look like a shitload of fun?

(Careful, it’s red-band due to a fuckload of swearing)

I just finished Party Down and watched the Vicious Kind, so I am on an Adam Scott kick. So I am in!

I will NOT watch flaming bodies. I'm sorry, but that's where I draw the line.

But I want Ellen Barkin's haircut.

We needs more movies where Zach Galifianakis gets shot in the dick.

Count me in!

Yes, FUN!

Am I the only one here who wants to do Zach Galifianakis? Down there? In his business district?

I was kinda hoping that this was a film based on the boardgame Operation.

I am now mildly disappointed, please rectify this feeling immediately Hollywood!

This movie looks like one part Hangover, one part Burn After Reading, one part Smoking Aces.

Not sure how I feel about that.

HOLY FUCKING FUCK FUCK!!!!
Anything with Rob Cordry and Bob Odenkirk a.k.a Saul Goodman has got to be watched!!!!
That shit right there has just made me happy!

Yes please. In fact, please release this movie now so I have something good to see in an air conditioned theater, before I have to resort to Toy Story 3 or some other such shitacular crapass movie.

Nope PH, I get the feeling sometimes too. And I generally do not go for bears.

I think this movie was originally called Rogue's Gallery, which I prefer, but whatever, I'll still watch this when it comes out straight to DVD.

It looks like a lot of fun. Can I just also add that I think Ellen Barkin is hot as hell. I like it when she wears the tight dresses.

Posted by: admin at July 7, 2010 11:36 AM

Hot Tub Time Machine would've been much worse without Rob Corddry's cursing and raving, so I'm in. Plus the wide range of eye candy (MILF, Asian, Girl With Hot Ass, Australian) doesn't hurt.

I always forget how stunning Ellen Barkin is until she shows up on my screen and I start thinking of ways to grow up to be as awesomely awesome as she is. I probably need to stop using awesome in order to do so.

Anyway, I like movies where everything is guns and explosions and fireballs and weaponry hastily made from office supplies and then everything is tied together with fast-paced irreverent banter. This should be right up my alley.

I haven't seen a cast this bizarre since Brad Pitt, Bea Arthur (rest in peace) and Penny Marshall stared in the romantic comedy "Seriously, Don't Touch Me." Brad Pitt plays the young, care-free pool-boy to the wealthy and neurotic Penny Marshall. They get entangled in a three-way love triangle with the lecherous septogenarian neighbor (Bea Arthur) who is dying slowly from ambiguous causes. Matt LeBlanc, in one of his first pre-Friends roles, plays the wacky, womanizing best-friend. The whole movie is set against the back-drop of Nazi occupied Brussels. Its a hilarious romp.

You can find it on Netflix on demand.

superasente, you sir are a liar and a bastard, a fucking lying bastard is what you are sir. I am grievously disappointed that the masterpiece of cinema you described does not, in fact, exist.

I love this. No idea what is happening, but has enough people I like, and snappy dialog. I'm excited for new insult material. It's like the Pajiba of movies! I mean, shhhh, I don't use comments I read here to insult my friends and family. No, never.

Posted by: dorkydragon at July 7, 2010 2:34 PM

Quite possible my movie of the year. I look forward to seeing this at the weekend. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Posted by: Jims hot tubs at July 7, 2010 4:01 PM

well the cast looks fuckin awesome

Posted by: koj at July 7, 2010 4:20 PM

I dont know. I want it in writing that Odette's ass gets more screen time than Zach's.

The Pink Hulk: No you are not although he is not my favourite.

Posted by: Simon at July 7, 2010 5:31 PM

Are we having fun yet?

Posted by: Lucas at July 7, 2010 5:37 PM

So - true confession, I haven't watched the trailer, as I'm at work and couldn't watch with sound - but isn't this sort of similar to the cast-of-thousands movie from a couple days ago with Helen Mirren and a gun?

Anyway, a whole bag of goodies in that cast. And are we sure it's just Odette Yustman's ass? Does she actually have a speaking part?

And Joe Anderson (needs a more interesting name) was probably the best part of The Crazies, which says a lot considering that Timothy Olyphant's hotness is certainly at least second best and rising.

Nimue: Wasn't Viscious Kind awesome! One of the best movies I've seen this year. Adam Scott's performance was the best I've seen all year, he is so insanely good in that movie.

Posted by: Mebe at July 7, 2010 9:54 PM

Wellllllllll..............it looks interesting to say the least.

How many more crossbreed movies are gonna show up out there? I swear that it's almost a cross between....well.....something.

Posted by: LordNinja at July 7, 2010 10:01 PM

Would "Odette Yustman’s ass" have her (its?) own agent?
