    Good Movie - Bad Ending

    by nlappe

    My wife and I enjoyed the movie. Good story line, good acting and a good amount of action. However, the ending left a lot to be desired. It was almost like the producers didn't quite know how to end the movie, so they made something up that just didn't seem to fit. Still worth seeing.

    End of Watch

    by TTommieTucker

    The trailer made it seem like these 2 cops were going to wade into some situation that was way over their heads and then how they got their way through it. Instead it was these two idiots that go through a series of situations that really should've never happened to begin with and certainly would've been handled better by the guys these 2 pretend to be. Every 5 minutes the movie gives you a mini-procedural on what a bad scene it is in South Central LA, like that hasn't been done a million times. In the end the one minor plot twist is too little, too late from a film that was way over handed in direction and probably was a decent plot about 3 re-writes ago.

    This movie had me from the beginning to the end. I will warn you that it will have you dizzy at the start, but once you get over the motion sickness it will have you wondering what is going to happen next. It is a great story between two friends, who just want to be the best cops ever. They will make you laugh, cry and reflect over you life. It did not disappoint me at all!

    Different Camera Views

    by melika174

    Really good movie, directed in a way that allowed you to feel a part of the scenes. Story has been written several times (cops vs drug lords), but the way this movie is laid out was original. Action and suspense throughout the entire movie. Would definitely recommend seeing this one!

    Gritty, emotional film

    by

    If you are a fan of true male friendships in movies and want a realistic view of life as a South Central L.A. cop, then see this movie. It is excellent.

    Not a movie for the faint of heart, but the movie definitely got to my heart. The first-person camera really makes the movie go and gets the audience fully invested in the characters. I laughed and cried at every turn and twist of the intimate story. Definitely worth seeing it in theaters!

    Late review but worth knowing

    by sjsawdey

    End Of Watch was by far one of my favorite if not one of the greatest movies of 2012. This movie has greatness from the acting to humor to intensity etc. Everything about this movie was spot on and fit so well. I have to say i did not expect such a great role from Michael Pena while i see him much more as a comedian since i saw 30 minutes or less. MIchael did a amazing job in this movie as well as Jake Gyllenhaal. And while the action and jokes were great i found that the most suprising and amazing part of this movie that really took me by suprise was the emotional feel given when something sad happens. I would absolutely recommend getting this movie cause you can watch it over and over again. like the title says this is a very late review for multiple reasons but tis movie was amazing.

    End Of Watch

    by steda9289

    I was never a big fan of cops and really never looked deeper into their job.
    But after having seen this great movie, I look at it from a different angle.
    The movie has it all, from really funny dialogues to heavy metal action.
    Great acting job - Bravo!! - I will see it again.

    End of Watch

    by tazbuddy61

    I really didn't want to see this movie but my husband did. So a went with him anyways. I have to say this movie gave me chills, made me cry and made me laugh. Amazing I would go to see it again. Sadly everything in the movie is true, this is what happens today. But the movie is awesome.

    End of Watch-Four Stars out of Five Stars-Movie Review

    by

    Excellent movie. If you like action movies with lots of dramatic moments, this is a good one to see. This movie is a lot like Training Day. This movie was excellent, the cast give great performances, and is one of the best films I have seen this year. Go see it soon, you will have a good time.

    Could be the Greatest Police Drama Ever Made!

    by joemarine80

    There have been some great police movies, but never one that was as realistic, personalized, and encompassing as End of Watch. Having worked around LAPD officers, this movie is very reflective of the internal, personal, and public problems these public servants face. It might allow viewers to finally understand why police officers have to be domineering and in control of public encounters. It also reminds us, that regardless of their apparent callousness, the majority of law enforcement officers are caring people caught in between two worlds. Best Movie so far this year!

    by movie-pro

    If the F word repeated over and over and over bothers you then please don't see this movie. It really doesn't bother me but my wife was pretty sick of it by the end of the movie. The acting and set design were really good...I have always liked Pena...Not for 15 and younger..I would have really liked to have rated it between a So-So & Go...
