" The Movie: End of Watch The Release Date: September 21 The Hype: &amp;quot;Bullets &amp;amp;amp; Bonding&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;Everyone Wants to Kill LA Cops.&amp;quot; The Setup: A run-of-the-mill Los Angeles police officer (Jake Gyllenhaal) decides to take up a &amp;quot;filmmaking&amp;quot; class. He videotapes his routine traffic stops with his partner, played by Michael Pe\u00F1a, resulting in disorienting POV shots, made more disorienting by the fact that Gyllenhaal is often not the one holding the camera, and there is a professional cameraman standing nearby. Basically, there are a lot of camera angles. The two cops search a house that turns out to be a stash for a well-known drug cartel. In between attending weddings, taking shots of tequila, and recreational boxing, they discover that the drug cartel wants them dead. They seem to take this news fairly well. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re cops. Everyone wants to kill us.&amp;quot; But then they stumble into an apartment building where a whole lot of angry cartel members start shooting automatic weapons at them. Now they start running for their lives. What You Should Expect to See: Some combination of elements from Training Day, The Blair Witch Project, The Wire, and Lethal Weapon. Confusing but realistically hectic shootout scenes. Detailed references to Los Angeles geography. Gyllenhaal acting affable. Pe\u00F1a acting extremely well. Racial tension. Cop jokes. Mexican jokes. Mexican-cop jokes. What You Should Not: Turns out Pe\u00F1a is pocketing drug money from crime scenes and owes the Russian mob $1 million. A happy ending for the cartel. Likelihood You&amp;#039;ll Actually See It: Lower than Training Day but higher than Man on a Ledge.
