Review of End of Watch

End of Watch (2012)
6/10
Started off well but faded
12 August 2013
This film started off well but started to fade after about 45 minutes. The two main characters, Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala where portrayed very well by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña respectively. The chemistry between the two was really good and there was a few laughs. Overall they done a great job but just the film in general faded out for me.

The plot seemed like a good idea and the idea of it being shot documentary style was unique. After a while the shaky camera really started to get on my nerves and I realised this idea was a bit silly after all. Overall it was just a bit of a disappointment. It's one of them films that I can appreciate why some people love it, but also why some people hate it. It was decent but not as good as I expected.
