This movie is ROUGH!! That's the meaning of the asterisk. Family of law enforcement should be prepared -- it ain't pretty!! I wanted mine to retire after seeing this!! The acting is outstanding!! The F-bombs are distracting to say the least bc I don't talk that way and am not exposed to that but my cop says it's realistic. The bond and brotherhood between cops is beautifully achieved. The experience for the families is also explored.
Pros great story, great actors
Cons language
Yes, I recommend this movie.

David Ayer’s latest cop-drama is gritty, violent and full of perfect moments of flawlessly recreated reality. “End of Watch” is told through a combination of first person video captured by Officer Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) for his film class, as well as traditional methods, resulting in a refreshingly vibrant mix of styles and storytelling. We watch Officers Taylor and Zavala (Michael Pena), the ultimate buddy cops, as they drive around what may be the most dangerous beat in America: Los Angeles’ South Central. After an exciting opening shootout they get perhaps a bit full of themselves and investigate a house they might shouldn’t have investigated. The horrors they uncover expose a large drug cartel who then sets their sights on the two officers, throwing the usual “don’t kill cops” rule to the wind in pursuit of preserving their business. Led by a man known as Big Evil (because his “evil is big”), the cartel sets up a riveting last act that pits the two resourceful cops in an all-out war with the whole gang of fully-automatic-toting baddies. In between we get insightful glimpses at the lives behind these two brave badges and the women who pray for them to come home (Natalie Martinez and Anna Kendrick). “End of Watch” is another realistic cop-drama from the writer of “Training Day” that brims with emotion and violence. It doesn’t pull any punches, only triggers.

This was a good movie. It did have a TON of cussing, but I think they were really trying to accurately portray cops in that area of LA. This movie had light-hearted, humorous moments, but it was very heavy subject matter. Definitely gritty and not for kids (even if accompanied by a parent)! It also shows law enforcement in a good light, rather than acting like all cops are pigs. I would recommend it to anyone who can handle the cussing and heavy subject matter. The story is awesome, just heavy, but cops have to deal with heavy stuff, so making it heavy was appropriate for this movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

I agree with the previous reviews: this movie has action, its gruesome, you can get a headache from the camera work, and more F-bombs than you will ever see in a movie, maybe more than all the movies you have seen combined. However, I do not agree with their generous ratings. My wife and I go the movies a lot and this the first time that I wanted to leave before the end of the movie like a few other couples did. The only reason we didn't leave is that we had just finished a tub of popcorn and weren't hungry enough to go for dinner. I will admit that the two principal actors wre excellent.
Pros great actors
Cons f bombs camera work
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The dialogue was hard to hear at times, but not the F Bomb - it was every 3rd word said and at time not necessary. God help us all if all of the USA starts to talk this way. As such, not a good movie for children. They don't need to be hearing this kind of language. We have to do something about the drugs along the boarded states. It is very out of hand.

Great story & acting. The camerawork is very jumpy & can cause a headache but was a great movie otherwise. I have to say I've never heard so many F-bombs in a 2hour period ever though. Acting was very real which is nice.

"End of Watch" is a very gruesome and realistic view of what two LA police officers deal with on a daily basis. Patrolling the mean streets of Los Angeles is no joke and the LAPD put their lives on the line every single day to try and keep the good citizens of Los Angeles safe.
The movie is so realistic that at times I covered my face because what was being shown would make me ill.
"End of Watch" is very bloody, realistic, and gruesome and in its own way awesome because it's not sugar- coated. It's the real deal.
The on-screen chemistry between Gyllenhall and Pena is really good. The scenes with them in their squad car really gives you a great understanding of what police officers deal with while cruising the streets. With everything that goes on in "End of Watch" the movie is really good, but it loses steam at the end and that's what will keep it from being a great movie.
If you can stand the bloodiness and the gruesome factor, "End of Watch" is worth seeing.
Pros well paced, great actors
Cons bloody, gruesome
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Shows how partners rely on each other so heavily in their jobs as policeman and how you can't help but become best friends. It was a pretty good story line, but I did NOT like the filming !! (this may be spoiler alert) It's MY preference that a movie is shot ONLYYYY by the regular movie camera crew and "videos" drive me crazy, hate them !!! Sooo... that being said, my son asked me how it was, he wants to see it, i told him if the video thing doesn't bother you, go see it. Had some really good & funny parts in it. Also, I wish they had more of their situational calls in the movie, wasn't near enough for me. I love lots of action.

A visceral story of beat cops that is rare in its sensitivity, rash in its violence and raw in its humor. Gyllenhaal and Peña are on point from the first scene, playing off each other as if they've been good friends for years.
The shaky camera work -- often a gimmicky stylistic option -- is an effective choice here, both as a story element and a technique. It's not a pretty job. But it's a pretty awesome film, and a must see.
Pros great actors
