Genre Action, Fantasy

Immortals Connor and Duncan Macleod join forces against a man from Connor's distant past in the highlands of Scotland, Kell, an immensely powerful immortal who leads an army of equally powerful and deadly immortal swordsmen and assassins. No immortal alive has been able to defeat Kell yet, and neither Connor nor Duncan are skilled enough themselves to take him on and live. The two of them eventually come to one inevitable conclusion; one of them must die so that the combined power of both the Highlanders can bring down Kell for good. There can be only one... the question is, who will it be?

USA Today

Zealots flip over Endgame.

50

Boston Globe

Offers some entertaining moments now and then in its relatively short running time.

50

Chicago Tribune

Has to explain itself through so much of the film that there's just not much film left.

30

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Looks sensational, moves like lightning. But its script (by Joel Soisson) makes no pretense about being logical or even comprehensible.

25

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann

Numbing.

20

The New York Times by A.O. Scott

The action is the best thing in the picture.

20

Film.com by Gemma Files

Borderline incoherent.

12

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

Shapeless, tedious, hopelessly bad sequel.

10

L.A. Weekly by Paul Malcolm

While the film is well-paced, visually it is deathly dull.

TNT RoughCut by J. Rentilly

Endgame has become a nincompoop's travelogue, drenched in stage blood, fake beards, and crappy special effects.
