Two cops, their camaraderie, their personal relationships, their daily patrolling and their adventures form the major chunk of "End of Watch". Beat cops on patrol are always in the verge of a death because their dangers are lurking behind seemingly harmless situations. It could be a simple door check for a complaint on a noisy neighbor, but who knows what the neighbor is capable of? I was never able to predict which scene would turn violent and which one would be normal.
On on of their typical day on road, they accidentally spoil a drug cartels distribution plan. Since they are smarter, they sense something big is going on and become over-zealous and cross the line to do some detective work as well. Now the drug mafia wants them dead. With valor as their companion, the duo goes on doing their duty even ready to pay the ultimate price.
I hate hand-held scenes and unfortunately this movie is shot mainly using this technique. But I have to agree that it gives a sense of being there and experiencing real events. I also liked the car mounted and gun mounted camera usage. On the flip side sometimes, I don't know whats happening. Nevertheless, I was drawn into the movie and the thrills it provided.
Some scenes are gruesome and there is a shocking climax too. But, everything fitted aptly for a good cop crime action film
