End of Watch - two thumbs up

Just finished watching "End of Watch" and it gets a two thumbs up!  If you liked Training Day from ~10 years ago with Denzel Washington & Ethan Hawke, you'll probably enjoy this flick.  Tough, gritty and well executed.

I gotta agree, I really liked that movie.  It was refreshing for once to watch a cop drama where nobody was dirty, it was just about a couple honorable guys doing the job of serving the public.  I enjoyed the documentary style ... and how the main characters would go from joking/funny to serious at a moments notice, then back again.  More than anything the movie is about the bond between partners and demonstrates very well, and convincingly, how deep it goes. 

Very little to fault with the movie.  It's similar to a well-executed movie version of Southland.  Just a no-frills look inside the life of a couple street cops.

I have seen this movie and enjoyed it.  No movie gets the job of a Police Officer correct.  After all it's Hollywood.  I should know, been a Police Officer for twenty six years.  Glock me!

I thought they nailed it as far as the camaraderie between the two officers. Recommended

highly recommended-although there is not much quality competition out there this year.  As discussed, the interplay between the two officers is quite nicely done

I also thought the female "gangster" in a small role was very very effective....
