I did a search and surprisingly didn't see a thread for this.

Looks really good and getting great reviews! I look forward to watching this next weekend.

Hah...this movie has been out here forever. It came, made some money, and was never spoken about again.

End of Watch is amazing- it's so well acted and executed. People are shocked when I tell them but it's easy one of the best movies from this year.

In a perfect world, Michael Pena would win an Oscar for his performance. Just watch the movie, trust me.

Good to hear, thanks

this one came out the same time as Dredd over there in the US.
one reason why Dredd didn't do so well on opening night.

speaking of which....

this is already out on dvd. interwebz got dvd copies streamed already.

This movie is way too gripping and intense to be viewed in a bootleg dvd copy. It's worth the money to see it in the theatres or on blu ray.

Is this out on BD and DVD?

 

[xjamiex]

Not yet unfortunately!

Also, I just wanted to add this- I've seen a lot of people around the internet complaining about End of Watch because they think it's another stupid cop action flick because of the poster. Michael Pena is holding an AK-47 in the poster so people are associating this with the assumption that the LAPD are using AK-47s throughout the film, etc.

This is not true, I wouldn't even consider this movie to be an action movie at all. It's a VERY smart drama film about brotherhood, relationships, teamwork, and the duty of officers to serve and protect. Don't go into this movie expecting huge shootout scenes with SWAT and helicopters with cheap one liners and over-the-top explosions because you will not get it.

You'll get something so much more rewarding instead.

Carey Mulligan on Jake Gyllenhaal in 'End of Watch'

I remember so vividly Jake's demeanor when he was preparing for "End of Watch." I have known him and regarded him as a dear friend for several years, and during that time I was very struck by some fundamental change in him. He was energized, he was completely present and he told me with such excitement about the work that he was doing to get ready for his next movie.

A large part of the work involved was observing protocol on the midnight shift with the LAPD. Both he and Michael Pena witnessed pretty tragic, unpleasant scenes that affected them both. His descriptions of the ride-alongs were charged not with voyeurism but with a profound respect for the policemen and women whom they were observing. His reinvigorated sense of perspective and humility was palpable. I sensed just how deep he had already gone, and that the experience was filling him in some new way. Not that Jake had ever taken work lightly **-- quite the opposite -- but what was so distinct on this occasion was that this work was releasing him. He seemed more free, more alive and more comfortable in his skin than I had ever known him.

Watching Jake in "End of Watch," I saw all of that joyous freedom on the screen. His complete ease in scenes with the brilliant Michael Pena makes those moments wrap around you in all their infectious warmth, and pulls you into the car with them. Their comraderie is the most beautiful portrayal of friendship in the truest sense: absolute trust, love and unflinching loyalty.

It is a love story that broke my heart and Jake's work is fearless. He is not daunted by the intimacy of their relationship, the lightening fast emotional changes, the dichotomy of bravado and honesty or even a meticulously choreographed first dance at his wedding.
