End of Watch Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Peña, Anna Kendrick Directed by David Ayer Available on RedBox My Opinion: Worth the ride. |
As someone who has experienced motion sickness, I'm not a huge fan of the shaky cam, but End of Watch almost makes it work. There is always at least one character filming the action, however, there are also several angles and shots still shaky but without an agent to account for the style. It's not a big deal, but it is noticeable. Also, I did find myself chuckling during a few very ridiculous moments and I'm sure my reaction was not that which was intended. Overall though, End of Watch is gritty and entertaining ride throughout.
