End of Watch
Young Los Angeles police officers Taylor and Zavala patrol the city's meanest streets of south central Los Angeles. The action unfolds through footage from the handheld HD cameras of the police officers, gang members, surveillance cameras, and citizens caught in the line of fire to create a riveting portrait of the city's most dangerous corners, the cops who risk their lives there every day, and the price they and their families are forced to pay.

In “End of Watch,” Jake Gyllenhaal plays a cocky prankster LA cop who takes a camera to work for reasons that amount to nothing, dramatically. One of the Chicano thugs on his beat also has a camera. Their hand-held footage is thrown into a blender with the rest of what the director of photography, Roman Vasyanov, shot and puréed for 109 minutes. The camera is just everywhere, from the point of view of everything. When I left the movie the other night, people complained of seasickness.
