À propos de ce film

Police officers Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal, Source Code) and Zavala (Michael Peña, Crash [2004]) are partners and best friends. A night-school student in film production, Taylor affixes tiny cameras to his and Zavala's uniforms to record their daily routines, collecting material for a short video about the real lives of the LAPD. Life is good - until a seemingly routine vehicle check finds the pair stepping on the toes of powerful drug traffickers.

Notes et avis

The lead actors turn in great performances but the whole thing is derivative, unoriginal and ultimately disappointing. And don't get me started on the shoddy camera work.

Great film. You can really see the genuine friendship between both Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena, developed both onscreen and off screen. They're both very likable, believable characters that make the film funny yet intense, emotional and gripping.

Was not sure of this movie at first but once it started it gradually grew on me and it sucks you in! Turns out it was a fantastic show and a real intensive movie!
