    End of Watch (2012)



    David Ayer is back with his latest dark crime thriller End of Watch starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña. I dig most of Ayer's work, with Training Day being his best, though I was surprised to find that End of Watch was probably one of his better (if not) best efforts. The story basically follows a couple officers as they pursue several crimes during their shift and eventually coming across stuff that ends up pissing off the wrong people.

    Really loved the gritty and realistic handheld camera approach the film took since it made you feel like you were right in there with the cops. What made the movie really work was the chemistry between the two leads. It seemed like they really were best friends as well as partners, which made you care and fear for their safety when shit would hit the fan. If you dig Ayer's previous work or really like crime dramas (especially about cops) then give this a look.

    7/10 (but a VERY high 7, almost an 8)

    I saw it at the movies. It was really good. Crazy because it's very close to reality. My wife use to live off 52nd and Vernon in South Central LA and we use to see so much shit! Glad we moved out of that shithole!

    I absolutely loved this! I went to see it twice. It's definitely David Ayer's best film as a director and the leads are amazing. Everything about this movie screams realism. It's one of my films of the year, and right now, I would place it third behind 'Looper' and 'Dredd' respectively.

    Just caught this, man what a tense movie. Very good, not a feel good movie though, very dark and gritty.

    Without a doubt one of the best films of the year. Ultra realistic and fine performances from the entire cast. Extremely tense
    Spoiler...
    and the ending is devastating.



    Being a cop in South LA would have to be one of the worst jobs in the world.

    Great, great movie!

    As of right now I'm torn between End of Watch and Savages as my favorite movie of 2012.

    Savages was another missed opportunity for Stone. He's on autopilot these days. It was an OK movie but could have been so much better.

    When the movie started, and I realized that this kind of "found footage" would be all the way, I worry a little, but it turned out to be fucking great! very effective, very realistic, violent and crude.

    The ending is very touching.
