End of Watch

super foul mouthed buddy cop movie. what i loved about it: it didnt glorify the violence, instead it showed it for what it is. brutal and horrifying and scary and devastating. it showed the same for what happens when there is not strong rule of law: the gangs and cartels destroy and make every neighborhood a lawless and terrifying place to live. the movie also featured two cops that were genuinely trying to be good moral people and good cops aa they navigated the constant danger and morally tragic situations. so many other movies feature corrupt or morally gray cops. but this movie was refreshing to present us two heroes to emulate. loved the bromance and their loyalty to their wives and to each other.

this was a great movie. Up until the end of the movie where these writers KILLED NOT ONE. BUT BOTH OFFICERS THEN CUT TO THE FUNERAL.. AND ONLY ONE OF THEM LIVES????? absolutely not. I will be calling Jake Gyllenhaal to re-shoot the ending. This is absurd. I am a very angry viewer. Great movie … I had a wonderful time watching … up UNTIL ONE OF YOU PEOPLE KILLED ONE OF THE OFFICERS. I WILL BE CALLING CORPORATE. Whoever wrote the beginning, and middle of the movie though…. Chefs kiss. I hope your pillow is cold on both sides. Whoever thought of the ending I will absolutely be throwing physical rotten tomatoes at your doorstep until this movie is reshot with a different ending.

Story is really slow, could have been better

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña have chemistry, and the film capitalizes on building a realistic relationship between them, which makes the action even more captivating. Also, the use of handheld footage (a lot of it actually shot by Gyllenhaal himself) is quite immersive. On the downside, Ayer gives carte blanche to his heroes to do anything: even when brutalizing African American and Hispanic civilians completely unprovoked, it's somehow fine because they all turn out to be criminals anyway.

Such an excellent movie. Similar to the TV series Southlands. Must see!

With throat-grabbing immediacy, giddily frenetic cop thriller End of Watch thrusts you into the front seat of an LA patrol car.

This is an amazing movie that kept me on the edge and also a great reality check of what these heroes go through. 10/10

Loved the cinematography. Fast paced, riveting, emotional, and good story

Damn for a POV cop movie..,,that was top-notch ✌🏾

Fairly straightforward cop drama but well directed. The acting by Gyllenhaal and Pena was the real strength of the movie.
