    An amazing action movie

    by jcm136

    The film was great! Hilarious moments lining up perfectly with tense moments, the characters are believable and the plot is really well laid out. Even if you're not a cop, you're going to enjoy this movie!

    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

    Must see cop film

    by

    Great performance by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena. These guys are cops out to make a difference and aren't afraid to get their hands a bit dirty. HIGHLY recommend going to see this film.

    I would see it again.

    by michellerobin1979

    This was a really great movie. There is a lot of bad language and sexual language, so watch who you take to this movie e.g. your mom. The acting was spot on, and at times hard to watch. I would see it again.

    Awesome!

    by StephenHudson

    Awesome movie. So real and life like. I felt like I was observing and nearby - loved the camera shots. Tee movie is full with a range of emotion from joy to laughter to tears to disgust. You will be moved.

    Great Movie but Feeds Stereotypes

    by

    First and foremost, let me say that I REALLY enjoyed this film. The action was great. The storyline was great. It kept me interested the entire time. However, one lone critical observation is that this film stereotypes minorities to the point where it's almost comical. From watching the film, you would think that every Black and Hispanic in South Central is in a gang, hooked on dope, an illegal alien, or both! WOW, HOLLYWOOD! Although I'm not from Los Angles, I think it safe to presume that not every Hispanic or Black in L.A. is in a street gang. Furthermore, this movie portrays the LAPD as the most pious of organizations which CLEARLY is not the case. But again, and if you can get past all the hollywood stereotypes, this is still a great movie. I just wish Hollywood would do a better job at managing cultural bias and misperceptions. To those who are ignorant and uninformed, this movie will only serve to cement all the preposterous notions that they already believe.

    Bro Fest

    by

    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!

    EXCELLENT Movie!

    by janetgarbino

    I didn't know too much about this movie prior to seeing it and I must say that I was extremely pleased with it. Very exciting and suspenseful! It made me laugh and cry several times. I thought the movie was extremely well put together, great cast and would encourage everyone to go see it!

    Better than expected...

    by cherrys77

    This movie was great. I went in thinking it was going to be so-so...once it it started I was pulled in. All the actors in this movie had great performances. I laughed, cried and felt nervous at times. Overall, great movie. This movie is NOT for kids. I was completely shocked to see a mother come in with her son who was maybe 10 years of age. ADULTS ONLY PLEASE!

    my kind of movie

    by natebump77

    from the trailer i knew i would like it, but turns out i loved it. cant wait to see it again soon. love the closeness of the 2 partners and the action was all there along with the now "modern" camera shooting from handheld devices instead of an actual camera on a tripod. love it, and recommend highly to any action goers.

    A great movie, that no one's talking about

    by LA_Snowman

    End of Watch was my favorite movie of 2012. I'm surprised it didn't get more hype than it did.

    In short, it's about two hot shot LAPD officers, who could do no wrong, but find themselves in over their heads when they mess with the wrong gang.

    If you liked Training Day, you'll love End of Watch -- it's actually written and directed by the dude who wrote Tarining Day.

    The acting is great, the chemistry between characters is authentic, it was nicely shot, the soundtrack is good, and the plot will have you on the edge of your seat for the full 2 hours.

    It's a story that will have you thinking for a couple days. It almost gives you an appreciation for what it must be like being a cop in LA.

    End of Watch has all the action that action fans will want, and also has the plot and acting to back it up.

    It's a great movie. See it!

    Even the big tough guy sitting behind me was choking back tears.

    by phatalie

    Michael Pena was great in this film. The main characters were very believable. Could of done without the actress playing a ******* chola's exaggerated accent at times, but overall, this film is very original, will make you chuckle a lot, keeps you engaged the whole way through, and definitely pulls at your heartstrings. I let myself cry at practically every movie, but during this one, I did the ugly cry. And my boyfriend was crying, and that's not a common occurence. You won't want your money back after seeing this film.

    Not Sure

    by NICU RN

    I did like this movie. As the mother of a Caucasian police patrol officer it terrified me. I'm not sure I "get it" - it seemed to be a series of "a day in the life" and the ending left some unanswered questions for me. But I think it's worth seeing.
