End of Watch (2012)


I watched End of Watch which is available to rent or own right now.  It stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko),  Michael Pena (Crash), and Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect).  This is a different take on a partially found footage movie, it's about 2 cops and it shows their day to day jobs patrolling the ghetto streets of LA.  The movie starts off very slow but picks up once the characters stumble across some big drug busts and some insane criminal activity.  It not only focuses just on the work life, it goes into their personal life which gives it a good mix and makes the story interesting.  The way they do the found footage is using the police car camera and using mini cameras on the officers uniforms but that is a very small part of the movie. 

I give this movie 4 stars, I really enjoyed it all in all especially after the half way point but take my advice and don't just fast forward to that point, watch it in entirety
