A movie to watch for all those who don't like the police.

It's in Redbox now and it scores big on the tomatometer. Title is "End of Watch". I watched it today. Pretty powerful film.

"Flight" (the Denzel Washington movie) is my favorite movie of about the last entire year.
The main way I judge what are the best movies is how well they hold my attention over the whole film. Some can do that with parts of the movie. But the ones which provide me a total escape for the whole movie are the ones I give the five stars too. The ones where my mind never wanders from what's on the screen. Those are very few and far between. And Flight is one.

The story in "End of Watch" is a drama which revolves around two LAPD patrol cops (partners) in South Central LA.

"End of Watch" is one of the best police movies in recent years...

Dunno. I can't remember that scene. What movie is it?

That's Mel in Mad Max..

'Mad Max' was one of those landmark films like 'Fistful of Dollars'. The ones which really break new ground stylistically.
Those are really in a class by themselves so I would never compare them to 'End of Watch'. But I think you'll enjoy it.

Okay i watched it tonight Bob..just more of that Us vs Them conditioning.....I stopped and helped a cop that had an accident last week he was very thankful for my assistance. If I hated cops I wouldn't have stopped.
