End of the Spear is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. End of the Spear moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them. "End of the Spear" is the story of Mincayani, a Waodani tribesman from the jungles of Ecuador. When five young missionaries, among them Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, are speared to death by the Waodani in 1956, a series of events unfold to change the lives of not only the slain missionaries' families, but also Mincayani and his people. Louie Leonardo and Chad Allen lead a cast that keeps the chaos grounded in who's actually at stake. It was released in 2005. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

End of the Spear is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Louie Leonardo's performance is the throughline that holds the bigger action elements together. Give it twenty minutes and decide — most viewers do not stop there.
