Opening in theaters today, END OF WATCH is as action-packed and gritty as we’ve come to expect from writer/director DAVID AYER (STREET KINGS, TRAINING DAY). A Los Angeles set crime drama that centers on two street cops who find themselves in over their heads after a notorious cartel takes issue with a bust and the confiscation of a cache of money and guns, the film uses a variety of camera tricks to draw the audience into the world of street crime. Heading the committed (and convincing) cast are JAKE GYLLENHAAL, MICHAEL PENA, ANNA KENDRICK, AMERICA FERRERA and FRANK GRILLO.

As convincing as the film may seem to an audience, GYLLENHAAL (who put in a couple weeks time riding along with L.A. cops in prep for the role) confessed during our recent interview that real life is a lot scarier. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
