End of Watch (15)

When I saw David Ayer's End of Watch I had to come home and listen to Public Enemy all day. Not sure why, it's not as if I am a fan. Somehow it captured the mood that the movie summons up.

If anything the track Harder than You Think echoes the theme and trajectory of this tale of two LA police officers trying to make it through patrol after patrol. It's gritty stuff and our involvement as the audience is total.

Here's the review for Total:Spec. The movie is on general release in the UK from 23 November.

To label this movie a drama is to hardly give the picture [a finalist in the London Film Festival’s Official Competition] the justice it deserves. By turns gripping, stomach churning, tension filled, joyful and touching, End of Watch is a roller coaster ride not unlike a shift in one of LAPD’s police interceptors.
