End of Watch
End of Watch isn't so much a single movie as a series of mostly unrelated episodes in which two police officers do heroic things. They ride around town and encounter a brutal attack, a fire, a drug operation, and human trafficking, among other criminal activities, and while they don't always come out on top, they always behave honorably. Once you get over the irredeemable bad guys and the weird "found footage" filmmaking choices, though, Watch draws you in with its tense anecdotes and likable heroes. Ultimately, it's just a B-movie with a couple pretentions, a dark, scuzzy, gory ride on the dark side with a couple of decent young guys. (PAUL CONSTANT)
