End of Watch

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Peña
Director: David Ayer
Rating: ●●●●○ - Involving

I liked End of Watch, I think it was a well done movie.
The story is around the friendship of two street policemen, played by Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Jarhead) and Michael Peña (who played the cop also in World Trade Center).
The movie focuses on the day to day lives of these two cops, their fears, their feelings, rather than the usual crime-punishment seen usually in this genre of films. In other words, you see more dialog between the two than adrenaline-type chasing action scenes.
Don't expect this to be a movie about zero tolerance, or the I-am-the-law kind. It is a honest portrait of two ordinary guys doing their job.
Clearly there is police action here, but like maybe never before, you see the action through the eyes of these two policemen.
The film is shot mocking a handy video recorder, in particular the one Jake Gyllenhaal always carries with him during his patrols, giving this movie a Youtube/Real TV feeling, a clever trick that makes End of Watch very realistic and involving.
