The exam season has just emerged so it´s time to watch all those delayed films until I pretend to study. Yesterday I watch a fantastic one that I want to share with you, "End of watch" (Sin tregua in spanish)
Two cops and a city of almost 4 million inhabitants are characters of this documentary style film. Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala (or Z, as Brian likes to call him) are two LAPD police officers which record their journey for a film project. They patrol in one the most dangerous districts of the city where several gangs fight in order to get the control of the streets. I don´t want to spoil you to much so I am just going to say that they stick their noses into other people's business until the get in one of the biggest mexican narco spotlight.
The two main characters Michael Peña and Jake Gyllenhaal are great. They show us their dreams and aspiraciones in their dialogues. The film show their outside work life that make you understand their motivaciones and feel what they feel. They dont fall in the stereotype of tought guys and they look like common people with fear and doubts when they take their gun out.
The way the film is recorded is marvelous. Most of it is from Brian cameras but the are normal angles too. Moreover there are some epic camera angles as the one which is attached to Brian´s shotgun.
I strongly recomend you to watch this film that show perfectly the brutallity of L.A. slums. I assure you are going to enjoy.
PD:There are some gore moments so be prepared to close your eyes and avoid blood splatters.
