End of Watch (2012)

Elevator Pitch

Two young police officers patrol the crime ridden streets of gangland Los Angeles, one of them filming their activities using a variety of video cams, hand held, attached to their uniforms and on the dashboard of their patrol car. They make inroads into the activities of the drug cartels, capturing drug mules, discovering human trafficking and finding bodies and are warned to consider alternative areas of work by heavily armed FBI men. Their personal lives progress, the wife of one giving birth and the relationship of the other results in marriage, but how will it all end?

Bits of the movie take place in the police station, but most of it out on the streets as the cops take on the robbers, even before the opening titles there is a car chase resulting in a shoot out and the two villains being put down. There-after much gritty hand held camera stuff and a lot of gunfire, the police always with hand guns, the villains mostly with machine guns. There is no nudity, a bit of implied sex, some smoking of hash and a great deal of swearing, some say a record number of the “f” word.
