Original Title: End Of Watch
Genge: Action,Crime,Drama,Thriller
In South Central Los Angeles, street cops Brian and Mike are partners - balls-out cowboys patrolling the streets as Latino gangs are in a power struggle with Blacks. Brian and Mike get lucky a couple of times, making big drug and human-trafficking busts, so a Mexican cartel orders their deaths. We meet Mike's pregnant wife (whom he married out of high school) and watch Brian's search for a soul mate. There are internal squabbles within the ranks of the LAPD and lots of squad-car conversation. Can the lads escape the cartel's murderous reach?
Shot documentary-style, this film follows the daily grind of two young police officers in LA who are partners and friends, and what happens when they meet criminal forces greater than themselves.
Overall, the movie was about a relationship that is formed by two officers who work in the most demanding areas of police work. I liked the synergy between Pena and Gyllenhaal, their banter was genuine and real, and I believed that these are the conversations two officers have in a car on a day to day basis. Beyond that, the film lacked depth, a viable story, the use of hand-held cameras may leave some film goers queasy.
The dialogue of the Latino gangsters was ridiculous, and while I believe they probably do talk like that, it made for following the story almost nauseating.
I liked that it showed the police as heroes rushing into a burning house, that seeing the lowest parts of humanity on a daily basis takes its toll on a person (this could have been a deeper focus of the movie) and sometimes people who have to make decisions in an instant and override their emotions for the sake of justice (he could have blown that fat guy away, he should have, but didn't).
What I guess this movie conveys at its core, is that these men and women who put their lives on the line each and every day are people too, with wives, husbands and children, just like the people they are there to serve and protect.
This movie is very compelling and has a very sad and shocking ending. All the actors give strong believable performances. David Ayer has made one of the best if not the best cop film I have ever seen. Michael Peña for sure does his best performance in this film.
This film probably came real close to the Oscars at some point in time. As soon as I could I added this film to my collection for multiple viewings. As I said one of the best films of 2012 for sure. This is up in my top 10 of the year. The best aspect of the film has to be the emotion going through it, this is one of the few films that brings me to tears on almost every viewing. All I have left to say is that I hope one day a movie similar to this one and leaves as much of a mark as this one.
In the last 15 minutes of the film, he burns up some of the credibility he established by not pushing extreme situations too far earlier on.
"Harder Than You Think" by Public Enemy. Brian Taylor (
Jake Gyllenhaal) can be construed as being a very reckless police officer in terms of safety and precaution though his background in the movie as a former Marine would help to explain his demeanor as more militaristic and fearless whe
