End of Watch

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

This film follows police officers Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala on their daily grind in LA. These two partners and friends find themselves trapped in criminal forces beyond their control.

This film was directed by David Ayer. This film is shot primarily documentary style. It appears to be shot from the perspective of Taylor. But it gets confusing when other segments are thrown in not filmed by Taylor. They're pulled in to help explain more of the story. Telling the story through this perspective does make it feel more realistic, but it gets confusing as to where all these other shots came from. The story is simple, two cops facing a dangerous gang that is involved with a drug cartel. Dominantly following these two characters pulls you into their story. There is something about the way the story is done that makes it feel honest. There is some sex, a lot of violence, and lots of swearing in this film. Most of the dialogue contains some type of swearing. The action in this film is mostly shootings, but it feels more realistic. Jake Gyllenhaal played the role of Brian Taylor. Michael Pena played the role of Mike Zavala. They did great bringing an unexpected emotional light to their characters. It is easy to see them as close friends. 

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It is a good police drama film. There is plenty of honesty in the film.
