The End is a unusual and quirky movie project that stars and is directed by Burt Reynolds. It's a dark comedy about a guy who is terminally ill and makes many failed attempts to end his life. As someone who has dealt with depression, I can relate to this character. Burt , normally super confident and macho chick magnet shows some vulnerability in this role. He actually is quite mad and there is humor in his madness. One of his suicide attempts has him wind up in the mental hospital and there he befriends Dom Deluise..The two actors share some good chemistry and his real life girlfriend Sally Field appears and they have good romantic chemistry.. Unlike the very popular good old boy car racing blockbusters The End is way less accessible, but very clever comedy that takes some tough subject matter. I thought Burt did a good job here and I am glad he took a chance in making this.
