Endgame (2015)

When someone tells me they liked something about a movie I didn’t enjoy, I listen to what they have to say in the hopes that their enthusiasm might make me see something I didn't. When it comes to 2015’s Endgame, nothing you could tell me would make me change my mind. This movie is so melodramatic and full of clichés I don’t understand how anyone could be fooled into thinking it was good.

Jose (Rico Rodriguez) has always felt like everyone - including his mother (Justina Machado) - has paid more attention to his older brother, Miguel (Xavier Gonzalez). The only exception is his grandmother (Ivonne Coll), who has been patiently teaching him to play chess ever since he could remember. After Miguel dies in a car accident, the family falls apart. Jose begins acting out and winds up in detention. There, Coach Alvarado (Efren Ramirez) has the bright idea to teach the children discipline through chess.

My synopsis doesn't give anything away. You can tell Miguel is going to die early on. After a brilliant soccer match victory, he and his two chucklehead buddies leave a party to go drink in their car. There might as well be a meter in the lower-left corner that reads “Odds of survival: 10%”. When they start driving, it dips to 5%. When the driver pulls out his phone, you know they’re all headed to the grave. You're not the only one who saw it coming because no one at the funeral seems surprised. There isn’t a tear shed. It’s the first time you realize just how unconvincing the performances are. They weren’t exactly stellar before, but they were passable in a “tv movie of the week” kind of way. Now, the plot’s actually starting and we’re in trouble.

I want to applaud director Carmen Marron, who also wrote the screenplay with Hector Salinas. It’s obvious everyone’s hearts were in the right place. There's passion behind this project. Unfortunately, it isn’t enough. Endgame is a parade of tropes. You can practically count down the minutes before mom and Grandma have an argument over Jose and how he's been ignored. What you don’t expect is for mom to yell “Chess has torn this family apart!”

Endgame is only partially a drama. It’s also a limpwristed sports movie and kind of a family-friendly comedy. It’s just that the execution is so off nothing ever hits the mark. Jose’s chess coach, for example. No one asked him to start a chess club but he did it anyway. Afterward, we constantly hear him complain that he’s had to take a second job and dip into his rent money to keep the club going. You’re not sure if he’s joking. His boss, Principal Thomas (Jon Gries) doesn’t seem to care whenever he hears him. I think it’s supposed to drive the point that these kids are POOR, that this school has no money, whatsoever. Instead of crying, you’ll be laughing.

You won't be able to hold back your laughs because the film never restrains itself. Every character speaks like they came out of a cartoon from the 70's. They speak perfect English but insist on slipping on Spanish word to remind you that they are immigrants. Speaking of which, it’s time to discuss Dani (Alina Herrera). She’s Jose’s best friend. They’re together for half the movie, until we see officials dragging her parents away to bring them back to Mexico. She runs towards them in tears. We never see her again and that's that.

As a drama, Endgame fails because the characters are thin and the emotions are laid on thick. As a sports movie, it fares even worse. Normally, you’d have someone unfamiliar with chess play the role of the audience avatar. It’s safe to assume most people know the basic rules, but castling? It’s done without anyone bothering to tell us why, or how. Worse, by the time we get to the big tournament, we haven’t gotten to know anyone except for Jose. It wouldn't be a big deal if the champion wasn't determined by their team's score. If Jose wins, he could still walk away with nothing. Did I mention none of this is explained? You’re as outraged as the parents whose children are cheated out of a trophy because the conclusion comes out of nowhere!

Endgame ends by giving us a text detailing the real-life school where these events “took place”. I can see why it was included but let's just say that this is not one of those cases where truth is stranger than fiction. Endgame is pretty funny to watch as the actors struggle with the material and the story clumsily tries to handle far more than it can. You might enjoy Endgame as a bad movie because inspirational? It is not. (April 15, 2021)

Letralia 230 | Interview with actor Eliezer Ortiz: "Talent without effort and discipline is wasted time" | Juan Carlos Vásquez.

With two decades of experience and the support of professionals like Mel Shapiro or Sir Anthony Hopkins, Puerto Rican actor Eliezer Ortiz is emerging as one of the rising Latin figures in acting. Venezuelan writer Juan Carlos Vásquez talked to him about his work and projects. "This career is for people who are truly strong internally because there are many storms to face; it's a career for those who can endure the most. The most enjoyable part is the whole process of discovery, that you're doing something different all the time, it's not monotonous, you live many lives, eras, etc., you're constantly nourishing yourself and meeting wonderful people."

—What is the most complex and the most enjoyable aspect of your career?

—The most complex aspect is living in eternal uncertainty because you never know what's going to happen. Additionally, you're constantly dealing with rejection, and the majority of casting decisions for a project have nothing to do with your talent. This career is for people who are truly internally strong because there are many storms to face. It's a career for those who can endure the most. The most enjoyable aspect is the entire process of discovery. You're constantly doing something different, it's not monotonous. You live many lives, eras, etc. You're constantly nourishing yourself and meeting wonderful people.

—There's always someone who inspires us. Someone who pushes us to go the extra mile. Who do you admire in your profession?

—I've been fortunate to have many people who have supported me throughout my journey, such as Ernesto González, Luis Lizardi, Mel Shapiro, Ivonne Coll, Gil Cates, Michael Mclain, Sir Anthony Hopkins, my family, and friends whom I don't need to mention because they know who they are. In my profession, I admire any artist who gives their best and is serious and committed to their work. I have to confess that I consider Judi Dench, Luz Minerva Rodríguez, Javier Bardem, and Forest Whitaker as inspirations.
