4/10
* * Out Of Five
18 March 2006
This time Connor McCleod(Christopher Lambert) and Duncan McCleod(Adrian Paul) must decide who must kill the other, in order to gain the necessary edge to kill an evil immortal who has gotten far too strong to take on alone in this confusing sequel which gets by only due to some fresh ideas and some good action. A Highlander sequel never really gets one excited, The third chapter was utterly abysmal. However Endgame is so confusing because one wonders how exactly this now works as continuity with the series, once you establish a certain individual as the winner of the prize, it's hard to take seriously a film which constantly contradicts it's own predecessors. Still ambitions are always something I hold in high regard and in the end this one probably had the best possibility to be the best sequel (It does so anyway but to actually be a good sequel) however this isn't treated as a prequel and with the ending it basically implies that the other three didn't exist. In other words this would've been best as a stand alone film, as a Highlander sequel it makes little sense. I give it two stars only for Donnie Yen and the action scenes, but in my opinion I can do without all the Highlander sequels.
