End of Watch Review

In the movie “End of Watch”, directed by David Ayer, Officer Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Zavala (Michael Peña) aren’t your everyday ghetto cops. Officer Taylor is filming his police life for the art elective he is taking for pre-law. The numerous hours they spend together in their cruiser, constantly bickering and bantering, has formed a deep friendship and brotherhood. They have even earned the respect of some local gangs by prioritising the rule of the “street” over the book of the law.This is shown in one amazing scene where brave and scrappy Zavala drops his gun and his badge and bare knuckle fights a suspect into submission while officer Taylor just enjoys the show. As stated by the suspect, this is the mark of “real police”.

Life becomes more spicy as an everyday traffic stop leads to the discovery …show more content…

There is an obvious tangle of narrative here. Is the audience watching the footage captured by Taylor or a something else? However the mix of street slang and police code provides an insight into the person behind the badge and makes them very likeable people. This insight into their character also makes the things they do for each other and their community much more believable. The flawless acting performance by Jake Gyllenhaal(Officer Taylor) and Michael Peña (Officer Zavala) add to the movie and makes it much more plausible. The finale of the movie keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. The ending is nothing less than incredible. The climax of the movie is frank and rough, and touches the deepest parts of your heart.

Overall, “End of Watch” is truly a masterpiece unlike any other crime fiction films. The officers are not heroes- just ordinary men doing their job while making memories. This film leaves us meaningful messages of courage, brotherhood, family, I give this film 4.5/5

It did show during a brief interview with officer Shane Bayhoff that he believed “this is his community” and that “he’s out there protecting”, but almost everything else focused on incidents were police handled situations improperly. It was missing, for me at least, a bit more of showing what the police have done right within the community, amongst the bad incidents that have

If the police officer is viewed as an abuser on the film they are likely to switch it off. Because the problem here is police brutality, it is very hard to believe the ruling of an officer to document everything that occurs in the video (Cummings). To solve this part of the issue would be making cameras tamper-proof. Cameras having no delete button, so no footage could be erased by the officer if he or she has a feeling that it could be harmful to their career reputation (Channel 2). Another method to control the temptation of messing with the camera would be live stream the video to the area where another officer is on duty.

Global Issues: Racial Profiling Review of Subject Police officers may enforce the law with a zero tolerance policy and utilize a crime fighter approach in cities known for high crime activities; however, there are several criteria that must be met before use of force is applied. All police actions must conform to departmental policies and procedures, and apprehensions of suspects must be executed with only reasonable force to effect an arrest. Racial profiling a specific ethnic group because they are known to commit crimes is unjustified, and it does not constitute as probable cause to detain an individual.
