End of Watch (2012)
Two young officers are marked for death after confiscating a small cache of money and firearms from the members of a notorious cartel, during a routine traffic stop.
This movie wasn't too bad. I am going to school to become a cop and noticed many errors with how they would conduct themselves in certain situations. I suppose I live in small town America so in my state maybe things wouldn't be quite the same as in the big city of LA. This movie reminded me a lot of the show Southland. That is also a good show so that didn't bother me too much. If you're a fan of cop shows you should like this one. There is enough suspense that you shouldn't go away too unsatisfied. 6/10
Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena are partners, patrolling the crime-infested neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Terrific acting combined with the intimacy of the hand-held camera lends pivotal and realistic credence to a world that exists, but one we shun and pray never graces our doorstep. For those with sensitivities the "F" word replaces "Like" as part of the vernacular.
THREE STARS!!!
For Now.....Peneflix
Takes my breath away at the way they compose this movie as it seems realistic to cop all around the US
This movie hits on real issues in our areas close to the border. The documentary style makes it extremely real and is able to pull audience into the action and wrenching drama. Highly recommend it.
