Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 19 Sep 2012

The two cops are cocky and funny and young, and it still takes a good half hour to accept that they may be as forthright and dedicated to their…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 19 Sep 2012

It's the bang-bang that glues us. We'll have to save the nuances for another time. Who needs moral ambiguity, anyway…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2012

Adam-12' on steroids....Much of Ayer's picture has the feel of reality, but the last twenty minutes move into empty spectacle and heart-on-sleeve…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for New York Times (5,786) on 19 Sep 2012

A muscular, maddening exploitation movie embellished with art-house style and anchored by solid performances…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 19 Sep 2012

The extreme juxtaposition of a large and loving Mexican family..and the cold-blooded psychopathy of Mexican drug cartels spilling into L.A.'s…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 19 Sep 2012

Shallow down inside, End of Watch is a music-video Frappuccino of quick cuts, sparkling banter, serial crises, grisly violence and tongue-jerk…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 19 Sep 2012

The camera is just everywhere, from the point of view of everything. When I left the movie the other night, people complained of seasickness…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 19 Sep 2012

End of Watch gives you the savage whoosh of being on a job that can get you killed…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 19 Sep 2012

It's a potent brew that demands to be gulped down, not sipped. Taking time to appreciate the effort will only reinforce its needless limitations…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Kirk Honeycutt (1,481) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 19 Sep 2012

It's every cop movie you've ever seen but from a fresh angle: You go into each situation without a clue about its outcome…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Jon Niccum (520) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 19 Sep 2012

Hollywood has seldom delivered a buddy-cop picture with this much potency…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Liz Braun (961) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 19 Sep 2012

So completely does filmmaker David Ayer get you to invest in these characters that you'll watch half the film with your hands over your face…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 19 Sep 2012

The problem with End of Watch, a gripping police drama, is director David Ayer's stylistic decision to shoot nearly the entire movie tripod-less…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for indieWire (3,631) on 19 Sep 2012

By virtue of its style and high stakes scenario, End of Watch is impressively tense, but then so are most episodes of COPS, which don't suffer…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 19 Sep 2012

End of Watch is more than the sum of its parts, though; it ends on a downbeat note, but that's something I've come to expect from Ayer…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 19 Sep 2012

Nerve-rattling in the best way, the sharp, visceral urban police procedural End of Watch is one of the best American cop movies I've seen in…

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 19 Sep 2012

It may seem like just another movie about the mean streets of South Central and the blue knights that keep the peace, but writer-director David…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Steve Persall (1,105) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 19 Sep 2012

End of Watch is a repellent movie, first for its shaky-cam conceit rendering much of the action incomprehensible, and finally for seeking to…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 19 Sep 2012

Your Action Fix. In lesser hands the video-verite could be annoying. But Ayer deftly incorporates it into the story…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 19 Sep 2012
