End of Watch (2012)


Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: David Ayer
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Pena, Anna Kendrick
Running time: 109 minutes



This film, written and directed by David Ayer, follows Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, two young LAPD cops, around in their day-to-day job as police officers, their relationships and their friendship. They cover an area where drugs and gangs are prevalent.

The acting is mostly good here, except maybe for Anna Kendrick, who I found to be very non-believable. The story is also quite compelling and the action feels realistic. Unfortunately, while it might have been good for realism, the parts shot with a hand-held camera were more distracting than anything else to me.
