End of Watch Movie Review: | |
| Ayer and his cast appear to have so convincingly nailed the way these characters talk and act that you might not even notice the film slipping from workaday grit into out-and-out myth. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine The actors, both excellent, get right into Ayer's groove. So by the time we arrive at the unsparing climax, we really know and care about these guys. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Gyllenhaal and Pena are after a lived-in camaraderie and a street-level realism. Pena, especially, succeeds; you buy him every second. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune The performances here are so sharp that viewers may wish End of Watch has been shot by someone who knew how to find the right point of view for a scene and leave it there. Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine Intermittently enjoyable but incredibly frustrating. Tom Huddleston-Time Out Jumpy and exciting. David Denby-New Yorker This Jake Gyllenhaal buddy/cop drama features some of the best on-screen banter in years. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground Deeply affecting, powerful film that's a thrilling experience. Highly recommended. Jeffrey Lyles-Lyles' Movie Files It's time to ride along with the LAPD through South Central, but this is no "Adam 12″. It's a realistic roller-coaster ride told with hand-held cameras and other devices. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers David Ayer's End of Watch is an unflinching cop drama that uses the handheld approach to heighten the drama and escalate the tension. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The performances and chemistry of the lead and believable, improvised dialogue keep the drama grounded. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine What gives it life are the performances of Gyllenhaal and Peña. They emerge as beacons of friendship in a bleak world of barred windows, barking dogs and strutting gangsters. Jay Stone-National Post It leaves you wondering -- who is filming the Gyllenhaal/Anna Kendrick love scenes? Jake Mulligan-Boston Phoenix Nicely balanced between savage violence and sweet human interactions, and it whips along at a brisk pace. Kurt Loder-Reason Online The street characters are played by a remarkable panoply of real-life types who speak in a thrilling, totally believable patois. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Planning on shooting your next movie handheld? Hoping for that realism dividend? Please read this first. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray A strong sense of camaraderie sets this edgy police thriller apart from the crowd. And it's also a change of direction for writer-director David Ayer, who has explored the dark side of police corruption in Training Day, Harsh Times and Street Kings. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Both actors are first rate, their friendship palpable, their professional conduct (tempered by practical joking and youthful bravado) convincing. Philip French-Observer [UK] If I was a big-city American policeman watching this, I would also wonder just whose side Ayer is on. I'd be more nervous about going to the work the next day. Not less. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Ayers's warmest film to date finds meaning and depth in its "I love you, man" exchanges and rarely goes too long without staging some daring detective work and videogame ultraviolence. Tara Brady-Irish Times One to watch, but through narrowed eyes. -This is London Writer and director David Ayer has created a pair of real, untainted heroes - which makes this a rare cinematic treat you have to watch.
