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

  • Summary Of Hidden Under A Bed Of Secrets By David Masciotra

    736 Words  | 3 Pages

    The military as well as the police force have continuously abused their preeminent title of being a hero. The word is so broadly defined that even a newly recruited military member, who wears the uniform, but has not yet served still qualifies as one. No matter how they treat others or represent themselves; if they wear a badge they get the praise and approval of everyone. However, David Masciotra bluntly shows the true colors of our role models. By defining hostily what doesn’t qualify and bringing up emotionally furtive secrets, he effectively demands that the carte blanche interpretation behind the word hero gets a slimmer and clearly definitive meaning.

    Police officers have vowed their life to protect and serve. They risk their lives every day for their communities. As the last few years have sped past us, police officers have been very aggressive with the force they use when arresting a suspect, or even people in general. According to a Texas article on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights, “police officers typically use force offensively rather than defensively and do so with at least some degree of premeditation.” (Gross,2013, page 167).

    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.
