Reviews for Endgame
William Hurt and Chiwetel Ejiofor, impressive at opposite ends of the table as a government mouthpiece and a philosophy professor, provide all the fireworks the story needs.
An inspirational tale chronicling the contributions of a few unseen players in the South African struggle for independence.
The principals, especially Ejiofor, rise above the starchiness that often hampers portrayals of recent, monumental history.
