After a two-year hiatus that included recovery from heart surgery, Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to the big screen in November 1999 with End of Days, a Thanksgiving turkey if ever there was one. Overcooked and bloated with stuffing, this ludicrous thriller attached itself to the end-of-the-millennium furor that kicked in a year too early. A prologue begins in 1979 with panic in the Vatican when a comet signals the birth of a child who will, 20 years later, become the chosen bride of Satan, destined to conceive the devil's spawn between 11 p.m. and midnight on December 31, 1999. It's hard to decide who has the more thankless role--Robin Tunney as Satan's would-be bride, or Schwarzenegger as Jericho Cane, the burned-out alcoholic bodyguard assigned to protect the girl from Satan, billed as "The Man" and played with cheesy menace (and an inconsistent variety of metaphysical manifestations) by Gabriel Byrne. With kitschy character names like Jericho and Chicago (Arnie's partner, played by Kevin Pollack) and lapses in logic that any 5-year-old could spot, End of Days is a loud, aggravating movie that would be entertaining if it were intended as comedy. But Schwarzenegger and director Peter Hyams approach the story as an earnest tale of redemption and tested faith, delivering a ridiculous climax full of special effects and devoid of dramatic impact. You're left instead to savor the verbal and physical sparring between Satan and Jericho, resulting in the most thorough pummeling Schwarzenegger's ever endured onscreen. Of course he eventually gets his payback, just in time for New Year's Eve. Perhaps he was touched by an angel. --Jeff Shannon

 I watch this movie everytime it come on. August 22, 2010
Jennifer Richards (Birmingham, AL)
The Devil can be a very evil entity. The movie sets the stage of "The End" that is supposed to happen eventually. Of course people do not believe in that but the movie was a great way to start of the phenomenom. I hope you decided to watch this movie.

Just wait until you see Miriam Margolyes beating the hell outta Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yet another excellent action sequence in a movie full of excellent action sequences. Yes, I'm the dodging the question about the plot but, then again, so does the movie itself most of the time. That's no problem because every dodgy plot point comes complete with an excellent action sequence. End of Days is trying hard to be a standard satisfying Schwarzenegger action movie with something different, in addition ~ something noirish and horrific. OK, forget the religious stuff, just boil it down to what counts, the cut-throat essense: Schwarzenegger plays a desperate man haunted by his inability to protect his wife and child, now challenged to redeem himself by protecting another innocent on a grander canvas. Classic stuff. With brooding late 90's grunge. Schwarzenegger really takes a beating here but then again, his enemy is a bit more amped up than, say, Bennett or Subzero. Did I mention excellent action sequences? What else you need to know? You looking for Shakespeare? BIG mistake.
 No matter how silly, good vs. evil, I'm there! February 15, 2010
Tony's reviews
I liked this film the first time I saw it, and like it now just the same. The charecters are flawed somewhat, but the actors playing them do a decent job, and seem to have a lot of fun with it.
I'm sick and tired of critics acting like they know good from bad, because to me, 98% of the time, they don't know
squat! Thus, a shining example being this film, good vs. evil has been done numerous times, and granted, this isn't the most original way either, but still enjoyable, plus being an Arnold fan doesn't hurt, although he seems alot more humane in this, even though he does still wreak alot of havoc here. Gabriel Byrne does a good devilish figure too-obviously the primary villian, I've seen my share of devilish depictions-and the one here doesn't dissapoint.
The remaining cast does a nice job too, even though some don't last too long. I'm getting kind of tired of saying
the same thing-but here you shouldn't expect biblical accuracy, try taking it on its own merits, Cloud ten pictures, take note.

Jericho Cane, a beaten down ex-cop, wakes up to another day, oblivious to the struggle that he soon must face. His job as a security specialist alongside his partner Chicago has become a tireless routine of seedy surveillance jobs, and since the death of his wife and child, everything in life which once held any meaning to him is now gone. Following a bizarre confrontation with a crazed homeless man warning him of impending doom, Cane rescues a young woman, Christine York from attackers who have invaded her home. He soon finds himself drawn into a heart stopping game of cat and mouse, as he realizes that she is the key to a supernatural force of terror, born of prophecy long ago foretold. For she is the unwitting object of desire of what deceptively appears to be just a man, but is in fact the ultimate embodiment of evil Satan. Now, as the world stands on the brink of the new millennium, it is up to Cane to protect Christine and all mankind from witnessing the end of days. End of Days is a great mix of horror, action, and supernatural elements. This is one movie you shouldn't miss.
