      Audience Member The hardest thing to pull off, in any movie, is a truly great ending. I still get chills watching the perfect ending they created for "Endgame." I won't give it away for the few who have yet to see it, but the final frames of "Endgame" live up to ten years of films, culminating in a most human moment in the very last moments. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Let's be honest, ogling Daniel Newman's body is a major motivation for watching this movie. [The plot line is somewhat thin.] It's what he uses to earn his living as a rent boy here. Sex is not something he does for pleaure but a job he does to earn a living. Not a thing he does but something that is done to him. Dominating and brutalizing an unresisting powerful 6-2 young man is an ego trip for a John who at 5-10 must stand on a platform to tower over him. He has a metaphysical discussion with his female rescuer about his inability to feel loved by another for who he is rather than the service he provides, though she dies for him. In the final scene we see that he has returned to pattern living with a sugar-daddy. It's the only thing he knows. Having been shunted from place to place as an orphan has left him with no feeling of self-worth, as he declares, his case worker paid him 50 P at 10 to service her. Being a cute boy is not necessarily an asset. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member slightly convoluted with just a sense that its trying to do more than it should it is well grounded by a brilliant portrayal of an innocent rent boy locked into a lifestyle he can no longer control. plus Newman is FIT Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
