So I just watched End of Watch and it is by far Ayer's best movie. The acting is incredible, everyone does a great job especially Jake Gyllenhaal who does incredible. He's probably my favorite actor. I've never seen him give a bad performance. The characters are also great, especially our main two Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Michael Peña) who have great on-screen chemistry and are very funny in this movie. The action is so great it is done so well it feels gritty it feels like people could die at any moment and it is very violent. The way this film is filmed whether we're talking about the found footage parts or the not found footage parts work they work very well and made the movie better in my opinion helping with the grittiness. Like most things in this movie the ending is incredible. I really liked it.
I hope David Ayer goes back to making films as good as this because he's able to do it and from what I've heard I doubt The Tax Collector will be that return but I hope he starts making great films soon.
Overall this is probably my 2nd favorite movie of 2012 (I think I like Moonrise Kingdom a bit more) and this is probably my favorite found footage type film and I'm going to give End of Watch an A+
