    End of Watch is a repellent movie, first for its shaky-cam conceit rendering much of the action incomprehensible, and finally for seeking to entertain viewers through the thuggish execution of a police officer.

    End of Watch is pure frat-boy fantasy, the video game to Southland's great American novel.
