I swear in this Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña have some of the most realistic and deeply felt chemistry I've seen in recent films. David Ayer knew what he was doing with this one, man. Way better than a film like this has any right to be.

When a LEO is a LODD (line of duty death), they will call out their number on the radio, usually on the day of the funeral at the end of their normal shift, and once there’s no answer, the dispatcher will announce an “End of Watch” with the date and time.

As an EMT for almost 12 years, most people don’t really know what we go through in one of our shifts. You don’t understand difficult situations until you have sobbing parents hand you their unresponsive newborn, and beg you to save their baby, but you know that there’s nothing you can do to help.

This movie is so raw and gutsy. Best cop movie of all time. Cant wait

“He was my brother.” There’s no worse feeling than losing your best friend/partner. Such a good movie with some of the best writing, cinematography and action. But what really made it great was the amazing chemistry between Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña’s characters

I remember cops going on record saying that the only really unrealistic thing about this movie was how long it took the other police to respond to the "officers under fire" call at the end. Respect to the men and women in blue.

I’ve been a LEO for 13 years. That scene with the babies being duct taped triggers me big time. I’ve taken calls like that. You don’t hurt kids.

This was a film my dad and I would watch regularly. He was a cop in our city and always went out of his way to help those in need. This film shows the most grounded perspective of what LEO's go through. There are a bunch of bad eggs out there, but most cops are like Taylor and Zavala, good men who want to help others.

Definitely an underrated movie. Not many reactors watch this and it's a shame. Such a good film.

If someone had glossy cowboy boots and gold diamonds guns, they are Cartel..

FINALLY someone is reacting to this great movie! Thank you so much!

Ash and Hannah are the ultimate duo. Perfect balance of dynamic chemistry between these two. Always a pleasure watching y’all.

When I was in the army my best friend was from south central LA. We went through two deployments together and our relationship reminds me a lot of these guys. He killed himself about 10 years ago after he got out of the army. This movie is always pretty emotional for me.

I love you guys. I’m retired and I love how you make me laugh. Now my 2 adult sons watch you too. Stay well. Enjoyed this reaction.

The original ending was called twin caskets they both died but they changed it because it screened poorly. It was in the dvd extras.

One of the most genuine cop movies ever made. This is a reality for a lot of members of law enforcement in America (particularly in troubled areas) There is a lot of stigma around American police, but when I tell you, it’s literally just a few bad apples that ruin the reputation of the many.

I saw this when it first came out in 2011 and thought it was really good. This movie today hits so differently because since then, I was a cop for 5 years in NYC. I vested out to go to nursing school to basically save my marriage and sanity. 2.5 months after I left, three friends of mine were shot in a span of three weeks. Two of them were straight up ambushed and killed together. I can't quite bring myself to watch it again in it's entirety, but it is still a fantastic movie.

There is no happy ending because the surviving cop still has a green light on him and we all know how that ends. Insanely real and cruel film! Art.

Hey Ash & Hannah, I hope you see this because I've been watching you two for a while now & and every time it makes it feel like I'm watching it with some friends & can laugh. About 6 months ago, I became paralyzed & I barely have had any visits with family or friends, i was in a very dark place, you videos helped and when i watched your videos. I just forget about it, n just enjoy the video you posted. Keep up the good work Ash& Hannah!

10:53 I totally understand why English people would think baked beans lol. It’s menudo!! Soup made from cow stomach and hominy (corn kernels) it’s delicious!!

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, this is actually a pretty good representation of what Los Angeles is actually like. Certain parts, it’s kinda weird how the areas are divided.

One of my favorite movies of all time! It gives you all the emotions. I’m glad you guys got to experience it. I cry everytime I rewatch it at the end. This movie deserved every award.

I've never seen this movie, but I was crying my eyes out just from Hannah's reaction. That's how you know you have an excellent channel - you connect with your audience like no other.

I love how hannahs roasts are funny and light, the ash just hits the core with his roasts, “before i give you a nose operation on that big nose”😂😂😂😂

You can tell Hannah is such a deeply empathic person. Her narration of what’s to come and just knowing plot twists is innate with every single film she watches. Seeing this in the cinema crushed my heart so bad, and watching both of you reacting to great storytelling in film is so visceral and emotional. Love you both!

This director also did Harsh Times. It’s equally gritty and good.

David Ayer is one of my favorite directors because of his willingness to not shy away from the mundane or harshness of reality. I'm so glad when people watch this one, because he really did his thing with End of Watch, and the main duo were perfectly cast. I also loved how attached y'all got to the guys, because that's really how bonded they are.

Man Hannah was not just crying here, she was sobbing. If you need to know if this movie makes an impact look at that poor ladies face haha. Great reaction as usual guys, thank you!

When Jake's character held up 4 fingers he was showing "Code 4". That meaning they're all good and safe.

So glady favourite reactors watched this. Didn't know what I was about to watch but at the end I was left speechless.. amazing movie

I knew African American families that always had plastic on their furniture. It’s common in some areas, not sure why I just figured they liked keeping things clean.

I saw this by accident once and I wondered why I had never heard anything about it. You should watch interviews from Gyllenhaal and Pena, as well as the director, about this. They prepared for this by doing 5 months of ride-alongs with LAPD and seeing how they work, and what they had to deal with.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this but the reason Jake survived and his partner (Michael Peña) didn't is because when Michael got shot he landed on top of Jake and took most of the shots from the gang members.

There was an alternate ending that was included as an extra on the disc (and I think it's been uploaded on KZfaq) in which both Michael Pena and Jake Gyllenhaal died.

So glad you guys are reacting to this movie. There’s not alot of reactions to this movie on KZfaq

Me, born and raised in Los Angeles, specifically raised in the Pico-Union District, this movie depicts the dark gloomy reality of life in Urban Inner City life in the 80's and 90's, it really was like this, it still kinda is, if you like this movie then you DEFINITELY gotta check out Street Kings with Keanu Reeves, it's another Los Angeles Cop movie similar to this one!

i used to work in prison. i remember in training, we watched videos of the worst case scenarios that really happened. there's an incident with a mentally ill man that just snapped and attacked one of the COs so brutally, just beating then stomping on his head till you can see the plasma from his brain leak out of his ear. his partner was so shocked and scared, she froze on the spot. the guy survived, but obviously retired after that. the female CO stayed for a few more years but since then, no one wants to ever work with her.

This is my favorite movie. Jake Gyllenhaal & Michael Peña were great. The scene with the babies duct taped was brutal. The crackheads were planning on doing something evil. Sometimes ppl don't understand what cops see on a regular day. Great cop movie. Great cast.

I used to work in Children Services at a Superior Court in SoCal. I've seen worse done to kids, unfortunately. You have to have thick skin and get over PTSD to work in that field. I love how in the end of this movie, you are dealing with heavy stuff like the officer's death, but then they cut to the scene of them shooting the s from earlier that day. Once you see and experience tough things, you learn to get over things very quickly and try to focus on the light and have a sense of humor. You try to remember good people you know. I used to be a very emotional person, but I can handle anything now. I think you would love the show Southland. I used to date a guy in South Central. He was hard of hearing, so he could live anywhere. It was too loud for me to live there, but I never minded going over there. People are super friendly there. Neighbors talk to each other. I personally liked it. And it was during covid so not as many people on the streets (so I probably would like it less now). Gas was cheaper there than other parts of LA, anyhow too. And better seasoned and cheaper food too. Best chicken around... mmm. I've never been a Officer or Deputy, but my favorite show about Cities or the PD is Southland. It's very realistic to me. I used to work in Downtown LA for the City. I love that show. Acting is amazing too. Finding a good partner and having great communication skills makes life all worth while. Once you have someone that you trust and that has your back, you have everything.

I saw you reacting to this and IMMEDIATELY my thoughts clouded to " NO NO NO NO....... 😢😢😢" One of the hardest films I've ever watched.

"can you live without her?" has been my guiding principle in dating ever since I saw this in theaters

Damn , someone finally reacting to this one!!!!! Awesome

When I saw this movie the 1st time I didn’t know I was going to end up crying at the end. Because this movie felt so real and the bond they had felt so real

CODE 3 means this is an emergency situation so keep your guard up and your eyes open.

No way! I was just talking about this movie and how so few people know of it yesterday, and now I see one of my favorite channels made a vid on it! Thanks!

Thank you for such an honest reaction. Wife of retired FF here. His department just lost a soul last week in a line of duty death. Many others including the man who recently saved my husband during a medical emergency are in severe condition and our friend is in the burn unit in DC. these movies are very hard for me to watch.... Side note. In most areas police arrive before Fire and Rescue because there have been instances where the fireman or paramedics are attacked and the originalcall is a trap. PD will almost always be first on the scene on every emergency....

Would love to see a reaction from you guys of No Country for Old Men

I love watching the feistiness mixed with love you guys have on your channel. I hope you guys keep that alive for decades to come!

Ash with the coffee mug win! LET'S GO! That argument was hilarious to watch but great to see the growth

I watch this film every couple of years. So underrated. One of my favorites and so unique.

Back in the day older people kept the plastic on the furniture to preserve it.

When I took criminal justice classes in college my teacher was the deputy colonel of our county’s sheriff department and he said this is the most realistic police movie he’s ever seen

"The sofas covered in plastic." - Every body with a granny that does this is laughin their asses off right now 😂

It’s David’s movies like this that breaks my heart on how during his Suicide squad there was so much interference from the executives. Fury as well is titan level storytelling

Before I even wash this, I know that I’m gonna hear the word “legend”multiple times. Such a good action movie. Love you guys! Thanks for the video. I’m off of work and now I’m getting some food to eat while watching :)

This is one of the greatest and accurate cop movies of all time. They were so convincing that other Las Angelas cops gave them the two finger piece symbol which is common for cops to give each other in passing. They thought that Jake was a real cop.

I'm all crying and then laughed with 'omg, like an emo" 😂

Y'all should watch Donnie Darko. Jake comes out in that too, but he's way young.

"Get a customized golden gun for your girl" Ash that is the single most Middle Eastern thing that I think I've ever heard you say and I'm here for it

Ash.. you need to hold on to Hannah for dear life. She is a real one. Put a ring on it and never let go.

I watch your reactions for about one year and a half now and I've never seen Hannah cry so much in none of your videos. I'm a police officer myself and I loved your reaction (especially Hannah's) to this one. It's indeed a great movie that depicts some of the realities that law enforcement has to deal with. Great reaction, you guys. Love your channel. Keep safe ;)

great movie - and great reaction as always guys love how neither of you are afraid to tear-up and ride the emotions a movie delivers

So happy you got to see this. One of my all time favorites

Let’s go! I’ve been waiting for this for so long, hyped for my lunch break now 😂

One of my buddies from my last military unit is a US cop and he says they venerate this movie. Gyllenhaal supposedly did ride-alongs with actual cops to get into the character. I think they did an expert job at story telling. A very rare and indeed underrated movie.

gyllenhaal is in so many great films, he picks them as well as tom cruise, and emts and cops who basically walk around with targets on their backs these day and the people that have to operate and even clean up after murders and deaths..they NEVER get enough recognition, I mean there should be a month dedicated to these people

10:13 when Jake holds up 4 fingers when the other officer asked if they were ok he was telling the officer that they are “code 4” which means that the scene is safe and the officers are in charge of the situation.

I get hit with the feels every time watching this movie

This movie is heavy! One of the most realistic movies you will see, made for the screen. So well acted. And this reaction had everything!

When they pull-up to the trap at the endjake didnt put the break on and crashed but the director kept it in

This movie is so damn good. Very underrated too!

My best friends brother is a cop, and I worry about him every day. He once showed bodycam footage of him chasing down an armed robbery suspect, and then, hours later, he's eating dinner with my best friend, and I'm like how the hell do you do this all day every day and not lose it. All that you see and do. This movie really puts that in perspective that these men and women are living two lives and are always on the verge of life and death. Ash is right, in my city, there have been some very good cops killed on basic traffic stops---tail light out, and they get shot to death over that. There are some awful cops out there, that should be dealt with and taken out of the job, but majority are like these two--just doing their duty and trying to protect people, and for that, they will always have my utmost respect.

Cam'ron - "Hey, Ma!" Closest depiction of police work in media since Hot Fuzz. Only thing missing was paperwork.

If you notice his partner was still shielding him, had his back, in the end. So heartbreakingly beautiful. Here is a transcript from the tv show Elementary with an episode titled 'End of Watch': Dispatch (recording): Central to Officer 73199. Central to Officer 73199. Officer Alec Flynn, please respond. Central to Officer 73199. Officer 73199, no response. Officer 73199, Alec Flynn, is End of Watch. He has gone home for the final time.

one of my favorite movies, enjoyed the watch along with yall on patreon

“The sofa’s covered in plastic! WHY?!” 😂😂😂

Been waiting for this one for a long time. Such an underrated masterpiece of a movie. Hectic reaction guys

Oh boy the ending will be hard for them.

I like when ash gets personal. That nose comment was hilarious

A great reaction to a great movie. Enjoyed watching this as I can’t handle rewatching this flick 😭

I love y'all commentary and emotion during your reactions.I sad now, and I've seen this movie about 4 times.

this movie is super underrated, not many people on youtube reacted to this thank you guys for this

Served 9:32 over 18+ years in Law Enforcement and as a Detective. Have been shot at, stabbed several times. Got hurt in a 10-31 in a roll over crash during a pursuit in 2012. It ended my career. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital and woke up with amnesia. Took several months to recover. Ended up with broken ribs and a TBI. After six months of therapy...i got served divorce papers and couldn't return home. Then she cleaned out the condo. I was finally told simce i was injured and could not perform tasks i could ride a desk or take early retirement. I took retirement. It sucked. Do i miss it every day, of course i do. The job is a calling .

I remember going to the premier of this film at TIFF and was blown away. I'm still shocked that it didn't get more praise, I thought it would have taken off during it's theatre release 💯

I love this Movie. I do think it is underated and great reaction video. Everyone involved deserves more praise :)

Jake Gyllenhaal is also really good in October Sky. He's even younger in "City Slickers" but he's only in it at the start and end.

This is SUCH an underrated movie and deserves way more awards than it has. I may be a little biased though, it's one of my favorites lol 10:20 he stuck up 4 fingers, signifying that's they're code 4. Meaning the scene is safe and everything's under control.

End of Watch! 1 of my favorite movies of that decade - top 3. I lived in Hollywood and worked alongside LAPD often

Holding up four fingers means Code 4, which is what officers say on the radio when everything is under control and no further assistance is required.

I laughed when they said “baked beans”

The cop that got killed at the end has a major roll in '' Shooter.''

The crazy thing is, shit like this happens all the time, I’m from Hubbard st in East LA. Daily routine in the early 2000s.

"The sofas are covered in plastic!.....why?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Somebody please get these two some Menudo and Pozole!

I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie. So (in)tense... going from very happy moments to very gruesome scenes. Feeling so sad at the end but the last scene helped a little... What an amazing movie! Loved your reactions! ❤

wow this is a welcome reaction, not too many reactors choose this film. Thank you so much for this

Thank you for reminding me of this movie, definitely going to watch it again!

You should check out Ladder 49, it will be the Firefighter's version of this movie. Its not a VLOG style movie but its pretty close in structure.

Excellent reaction. I'm from those exact parts of LA. This movie depicts all the geography and atmosphere so wildly accurately, it's uncanny. I love your channel. btw 27:10 it's surprisingly difficult to hit anything at that range, especially with full auto. Shotguns are 100 times better.

I saw this in theatres when it came out. Still one of the most raw movies I’ve ever seen.
