End Of Watch Movie Review -Starring Michael Pena and Jake Gylenhaal

OK - why do you go to the movies?   If the answer is for an emotional roller coaster ride and entertainment then this movie may satisfy your needs.

There is a caveats here.  You are going to be experiencing the emotional highs of two very upbeat and funny actors play off of each other. - but this is going to be balanced by some very nasty characters who love to swear. 

The cinematography is excellent with camera angles and movements that are chosen wisely as well as some jerky camera action to make the viewer feel part of the scene.   The  two actors  bring a joy and zest to their role of cops - they have a comical rapport with each other so that the movie is elevated to a high level of entertainment.

The love lives of the two cops also adds to the story so that the viewer identifies with the cops as human beings. .       

I would watch it again - that is my rating

This movie has enough violence, destruction and mayhem to amuse your testosterone driven boyfriend.

I would this movie again  even though I know how it's going to end.  But once again - there is a lot of swearing.  In our theater a few people appeared to walk out in the early part of the movie - perhaps too much swearing - stick with it - there is a warm human story in this movie.
