Highlander Endgame is the fourth movie in the Highlander series and is nothing short of an amazing film. Yes there were crappy sequels (2 and 3) but this one was almost as good as the first one.

The Plot: 400 years ago Connor Macleod's mother was burned at stake for having a child who was thought to be evil (due to his immortality) during this Connor stabs a priest who was Jacob Kell's (his former friend) father then stabs Kell who has come back intent on making Connor's life a living hell. During this Connor's clansman Duncan Macleod has been caught in the middle of this when there are rumors that Connor Macleod had been killed after disappearing from the face of the earth after his daughter Rachel was murdered. When Duncan's old friend Faith returns all hell breaks loose while trying to find Connor.

So plot out of the way here is what I thought.

The Good-

The Acting-Christopher Lambert has always played an amazing Connor Macleod and is no different in this one. Adrian Paul delivers a great performance as Duncan Macleod. Peter Wingfield although had a small part still was a great Methos. Jim Byrnes did an amazing job as well as Joe Dawson

The Story-This is one of the best Highlander stories to date. It was well written and you feel for the characters

The Special Effects- For the time they were pretty cool.

The Fights-Well Choregraphed and acted out.

The Bad-

Budget-The Film had a low budget (not that it's a bad thing but takes a little away from the experience)

The Special Features that came with this movie were

An Earlier Full-Length Cut- 1:40
