    End of Watch

    by jjohnston002

    I thought the acting was great, the story line very strong but the movie looked like it had been filmed off a cell phone camera. I know this is a new technique but there are times where all the film is hard to watch and very jumpy.

    I would also like to say parents should not take their small children to a movie of this type, I saw at least 8 children ages 4 to 12 in the theater, with their parents. This movie is not for kids!

    Funny, suspense filled...an emotional rollercoaster

    by

    Very good movie. Superb.acting... The story is full of suspense, humor, and emotion from beginning to end. It tells a story about the friendship and the everyday work of two police officers. It is not for children as it has nudity, violence, and bad language.

    A Different Point of View

    by

    The acting by the two main characters, Gyllenhaal and Pena, was dynamic and believable. The use of handheld and POV cameras brought the audience closer to the action. The cinematography of this film was amazing in so much as it made the streets of LA pop with brilliance. The language and situations in this film are raw, and meant for adults only. If you are a fan of crime dramas go see End of Watch.

    Excellent. Wasn't expecting this gritty tale to be well....good. How many times is the F Bomb Dropped?!

    by eaputman

    Great movie, great acting on the part of the not so central characters. Jake and Michael are very talented; however, it always makes me cringe when you have a duo (whether Black & White or White & Hispanic) and they overdo the stereotypical jokes. Burrito, really? There's so many Mexican celebrations, really? These are things that are obvious without pointing it out every five minutes within the movie.

    I digress.

    The Mexican cartel gang gave an accurate portrayal of the supposed attitude of Mexican cartels. Additionally, it was an accurate portrayal of Black v. Mexican relations in many "hoods.'

    The movie was definitely a must see, but for Pete's sake, the camera angles will give you a migraine!

    And, I'm pretty sure the Screenwriter is rivaling Scarface's use of the F bomb!

    MUST SEE!!

    by dcarter930

    This is such an AMAZING film....After watching the trailers for it I wanted to see it because im really an advocate of law enforcement officers and I knew that it would have some great action in it but I would have never thought it would be this amazing! From the beginning to the end it was full of laughs, action, comedy, cries etc. I plan to go see it again before it leaves the theatres but I must also see Taken 2 and Alex Cross. End of it all AWESOME film..please go and support it!!!

    It depends

    by skoppy

    I thought the use of foul language was extreme. There were more swear words in each sentence then are in most movies and it detracted from the story. The camera work was terrible.

    The storyline was alright. And I shed a few tears somewhere along the way.

    Adults only. This is definitely not for children. I saw a mother leaving the movie with her approximately 8 year old daughter, and this movie is full of violence, murder, blood, and language.That's ridiculous.

    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.

    wow

    by Ga-Ga for golden eyes

    Very intense and hope people realize what cops go through on a day to day basis. My dad was a CHiP and he loved his job. I think God makes policemen and women. You just have to have it in you like firemen and other such jobs of the like. Next time you are pulled over, just remember that the police never know who they are dealing with. Give 'em respect :)

    great movie

    by izohusic

    I fund it to be one of the best cop movies to date, and I will even go a little further and say that it was one of the better cop movies ever. It is that good. This movie has a good story/plot. Lots of action and they make it very real. Go see it, you wont be dissapointed.

    End of Watch

    by Forrest Nelson Jr

    After Training Day I had big expectations. The movie was good and I had a good time. It was a little Hollywood about the police force and some scenes seemed kind of cheesy. It is good at the movies would be GREAT on video

    Amazing

    by

    I can't say enough about this movie, it was amazing. So many parts were just dead on, it was really uncanny. Don't miss out on this one.

    A must see for me!

    by geckits4301

    Definitely worth checking out. Fantastic cop movie and you really get to know and love the characters. The only reason I didn't mark this a "must go" is because of the camera work that was done. While it didn't bother me, I know some people are sensative to alot of camera movement from camcorders which might make some people sick. However, they did it in a great way.

    California Dreaming...

    by Oscar Wilde

    The docudrama feel worked well considering the subject matter. Authentic and understated acting by both protagonists. When a movie makes you feel ambivalent about it's message (if any) then you know either the movie failed or the material did. However since there is an exception to every rule this movies greatest achievement is it's ability to create an almost perfect state of balanced ambivalence both toward the problem and the solution (if any).
