Kylo S Jan 10, 2019 This was an emotional roller coaster and I hate my self for watching this movie but it was beautiful and touching , David Ayer made this movie with passion rather than a ordinary job he just took . See more

Rey G Dec 26, 2018 Very Intresting and very enjoyable

Ron M Dec 24, 2018 Probably one of the best cop movies I have ever seen and without a doubt this will make you think about the men and women who go out on the streets everyday and risk their lives for our safety. See more

Albus W Dec 10, 2018 Showcasing the grim, nitty-gritty realities of work as policemen in a unique documentary style, this film strikes an incredible balance between a buddy-cop tone and a raw narrative of the burdensome tasks of police officers. From the captivating performances of Gyllenhaal and Peña that developed emotional connections with the audience, to the distinctively exceptional cinematography and editing, I was left with an even deeper appreciation for our men and women in blue.

Finn M Dec 5, 2018 Great movie. New Classic.

Draco S Sep 15, 2018 Strengths: If you're going to do a movie that completely focuses on the relationship between two friends, you must make sure they're casted right. Jake Gyllenhaal (Brian Taylor) and Michael Pena (Miguel Zavala) were great together. They were fun in almost every scene and you genuinely felt like they were best friends. Their chemistry was the star of the film. Anna Kendrick (Janet Taylor) was great as always, while Natalie Martinez (Gabby Zavala) was a strong supporting character. Director David Ayer gets how to do cop movies and this is some of his best work. Opting to have some of the scenes shot from Go Pro style cameras being used by the officers made for a unique experience. The film is ripe with tense and emotional moments all throughout. It's one of the more memorable police dramas I can ever recall. The closing scene is unforgettable and blew me away, taking turns I never expected or saw coming. Weaknesses: As cool as I felt the handheld camera stuff worked in some cases, it felt overused. There were times we saw it when it wasn't really needed. Though the movie doesn't even reach two hours, a handful of scenes feel like they're just there to fill time. As great as the closing action scene is, the way the movie cuts back for the very final scene feels odd. It just shows a moment of friendship between Brian and Miguel. It's nice, but it doesn't add much to the characters or their relationship and seems like a lesser note to finish it on. Overall: The movie ends on a weird note and has some moments that don't quite click. That still doesn't keep it from being a great film. The two leads worked extremely well together and there were so many emotional moments that you can't help but be captivated. See more
