Review by Buzz McClain

This deliciously twisted, stomach-tightening thriller is strong stuff, most notably for its several homosexual rapes, an excruciatingly protracted torture sequence, and one of the eeriest villains since Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. A comedy it is not. Rather, it's a darkly textured British drama with thriller elements that explores the idea of sex and power, while inducing a number of very visceral reactions along the way. The abundant gay themes are deftly handled. Endgame is not for everyone, but those who like things a bit bent and raw will want to tell their friends about it.
