End of Watch

Ratings: 6.9/10

Film Class: C

Genre: Crime Drama

End of Watch follows closely the routine checks/busts of two LA police officers, who's the cream of the crop, but as a result lands themselves into trouble when they continually bust a criminal lord's mega illegal human-trafficking operations, forcing themselves to come face to face with brutal enemies who wants them dead.

This documentary-style like movie is raw, grainy, and at certain times, pretty boring with the seemingly everyday dialogue. Not one to keep you up at night, but it does have a few tense moments here and there. Heard a lot of talk about the realistic chemistry between the 2 leads, no doubt it was present, but as much as the random conversations were important in creating a convincing sense of realism between the characters, it added little value to the enjoyment of the film. 

*major spoilers ahead* There aren't many movies out there glorying just and righteous police officers, but when one of those few movies' finally made, it's not unreasonable to think that a tragic ending is imminent. Ie., the plot was predictable. It's just a matter of "when". However, the ending scene did end with a "bang", a mentally replayable scene which I'm certain will haunt many audiences' minds. And that, morbidly is a plus point for me. Well, at least there's a part of it which creates a deep impression...
