MissCagey (2652 KP) rated End of Watch (2012) in Movies

However, the majority of the film is built around showing you the relationship between the two cops, them riding around, sharing jokes, introducing girlfriends, responding to calls etc. This makes it a bit aimless and I was wondering when the real story was going to start. When it does it's over in a flash which makes it seem like the main crux of the story is an afterthought.
I liked the film and it did give a good insight into the danger the police face on a daily basis but I would've liked less padding out and more time spent on the drug cartel story.

This isn't for the faint hearted, and those who are very religious may not like it much either. God has done a bunk and The Preacher, who has been possessed by Genesis, has gone looking for him. We meet corrupt, ineffective cops, gangsters, a Saint of Killers, angels, serial killers, and the most dysfunctional family I've ever had the pleasure to read about!! And all in volume one! What on earth will they have to offer us in volume two? Id better get saving my pennies to buy it!

After a Detroit police's officer's friend is murdered, he relocates himself to Beverly Hills, California to investigate only to discover law enforcement operates under quite different principles out there.
Alhough Eddie Murphy had made both "48 Hours" & "Trading Places" before this film was released in 1984, this one was definitely his breakout hit.
His crass, foul demeanor juxtaposed against the prim and proper by-the-book procedureness of the CA cops lent itself to many hilarious and memorable moments. His partners Judge Reinhold and John Ashton worked extremely well with Murphy who had really come into his own as a leading man comic actor for this role.
Still one of my all-time favorite comedies.

After witnessing the death of a rival officers assassination, Ludlow begins an investigation of his own, while also being investigated for his direct presence and potential involvement in the crime. The trail that he consequently follows leads him down a rabbit hole that he doesn't want to follow but realizes that he has no choice but to do so.
All star cast including Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Forest Whitaker, Terry Crews, Cedric the Entertainer and more. Quite an impressive collection.
Definitely worth seeing if you like movies in the vein of Training Day and End of Watch.
