Movie #746 ........................."End of Watch"
Movie #746 "End of Watch" is the type of movie you appreciate the acting in, and you think the story is relevant, but you don't want to ever see again. I felt the same way when I saw "amor" a few months ago. If this is what the police go through every day in South Central Los Angeles, we could never pay them enough! ohmygosh! Every minute is a ticking time bomb. The In- your- face- camera work is hard to get used to, and the language so raw, I almost turned it off for just that reason. The F-word got in the way so many times, that it was hard to follow the main words in each sentence. I went to menu and put the subtitles on, so I could seek out the main words, pushing away all the f-words that are used to decorate the sentences. There are some images here that I don't think I'll ever forget, and the acting is soooo raw, but I can't recommend this. It's kind of a: see it if you want to see a raw film about what cops do in south central l.a., but it isn't pretty at all. And don't look for a happy ending. but man, are Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena good!
