You should definitely keep the end a secret. It depends what the review is for, is it for school, for a professional journalism piece, or for a website review? The first two should have guidelines within the respective places so you need to ask them but usually a paragraph or two is enough for the synopsis.

the synopsis should be a bit long but not to much.it should be around 100-120 words.the end should be kept as a secret.
