Just been too busy....anyway, I recently watched this though and thought I would share it as I really enjoyed it! And the lead was really cute too! For those of you unaware, “endgame” is a chess term. After the opening encounters and tactics of a game, it’s the final plan a player has to finish off his or her opponent. And such is the concept of “Endgame” a stylish, sexy and sadistic British crime thriller, although with a few minor flaws had me on the edge of my seat and at times my stomach in my throat! There are some brutal and graphic scenes of rape and torture, which may not suit everyone’s taste. Yet it’s directed with such visual flare by Gary Wicks that you cannot help but watch. There’s a brutal fight and beating in a bar scene and as the music played it reminded me of a scene from a “Clockwork Orange”. The scene, among many, is twisted and dark for sure, but very well done. Daniel Newman who plays Tom is convincing as a male prostitute who’s on the edge and John Benfield who plays Dunston is one of the most vile villains I’ve seen in quite some time and it drew to mind Ben Kingsley in “Sexy Beast”! Outstanding performances! The premise of the story centers on Tom (Daniel Newman) who is a “rent boy” and turns tricks around London for his sick, psychotic “sugar daddy” George Norris (Mark McGann). Through a series of flashbacks we learn of Toms past while he tries to deal with the present and his future. And the future looks bleak. Regularly raped, and brutalized sexually by Norris he also endures the verbal abuse from Norris’s driver. He’s made to turn tricks, one regular being that of Dunston, as well as help George perform his dirty mob deeds. Without giving to much away things take a turn, when a twist of fate releases Tom from his violent “keeper” and with the help of some American neighbors, Max (Corey Johnson) and Nikke (Toni Barry) he flees the city to their remote cottage in the country with Dunston close behind. The story fails a bit in the relationship between Tom and the Americans and vice versa and a few scenes that seem thrown in for the sake of erotica but in general I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it was nice to see a thriller featuring a gay/bi lead role. I recommend this highly. The DVD doesn’t feature any extras but the audio and video were nice and clear for an independent feature. http://www.tlavideo.com
