END OF WATCH Still 2

“End of Watch” touches absolute brilliance with alarming inconsistency. It’s a procedural drama with a film school twist, using video cameras to dig deeper into the hardened cinematic routine of the L.A.P.D. Instead of “Cops,” where a cameraman is largely responsible for capturing criminal activity, “End of Watch” puts the video equipment into the hands of the police, creating a spirited atmosphere of intimacy to aid a tale of partnership put to the ultimate test on a daily basis. It’s an interesting concept with a trendy found-footage tilt, yet writer/director David Ayer doesn’t follow through with the possibilities. In fact, he doesn’t follow through with much of anything in this searing but problematic cop drama. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
