George Taylor This might have been a decent movie, but I found it hard to sit through since they went with the found footage idea, which I hate.

joselopez-28875 "A total of 1,439 law enforcement's officers died in the line of duty during the past ten years, an average of one death every 61 hours or 144 per year. There were 123 law enforcement officers killed I the line of duty in 2015." The movie "End of Watch" which is an action/drama movie is one of the best action movies I have seen that have cops as the main characters. Michael Pena and Jake Gyllenhaal are Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala the two cops in the movie. The movie takes place in the city of Los Angeles, California. The two police officers Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala are best friends that take on some Mexican Cartels. This movie was better than I expected. I liked how the movie was filmed like a documentary; it made it seem more realistic. It also had a little of every genre because it had some comedy. A scene that I thought was funny was one that included Mike Zavala and Orozco. Mike Zavala; "Orozco, you been working out?" Orozco; "Yeah, with your mom." Good movies always have more than one genre, it makes it more interesting. Anther think I liked about this movie is that the director David Ayer made it seem so real and showed a different side of police officers and what they go through every day in the streets. For these reasons "End of Watch" gets Five Stars from me. 10/10

rangerdelraval I'd never expect a movie rated as a 7'7 by IMDb users to be such a disappointment. I like the topic, so as soon as I saw that 7'7 I didn't hesitate and pressed the start button. And the first 30 minutes of the movie were OK, and I really liked the concept of the cop vlogging about his daily life, as well as the bad guys recording themselves while doing their "bad guys stuff", and the street flavor when patrolling the less glamorous part of L.A. But then, as we know more about the main characters, their idyllic relationship, lives, wives, girlfriends, and the escalation of heroic scenes goes on, the lesser and lesser realistic the story gets, and therefore, the more it goes down hill. Such a shame that a movie that had everything to be a great "cops movie" ended up being just another movie. Colors was much better.

astaknut So much potential yet such a crap movie. The leads are great and I'm always happy to see Frank Grillo. If only their acting were framed by a decent story. As it is, it's a bunch of people stumbling through cliché after cliché. The movie follows a pair of LAPD cops doing their thing. They shoot bad men and save kids. They're lenient towards a certain drug dealer, because, you know, these guys are cool and likable. Doing their duty they stumble upon the evil deeds of criminals who are perhaps too big for mere cops to handle. Did I mention just how much inadvertent stumbling upon major criminal activities happens in this movie? Maybe that's an LAPD thing. There's one scene in particular, where Frank Grillo's character drunkenly talks to younger men in uniform, where I just couldn't bear the mind-boggling stereotypes. Someone give this man some decent material to act in instead of wasting his talent like this. For all the screen time they get it would've also helped for the Mexican gang members to be portrayed as more than just a bunch of swearing caricatures. Excessive violence and casual sexism is everywhere. It reminded me a lot of Training Day in that way; this movie's writer- director turned out to be the writer on that movie too. And then there's the documentary-style. Maybe it could've worked if it wasn't so illogical and inconsistent. But it didn't.
