Jake Gyllenhaal as Officer Taylor and Anna Kendrick as Janet in "End of Watch" (2012)


Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña in "End of Watch": "Starbucks and Quinceanera" clip

The scene finds cop pals Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña shooting the shit, and riffing on the differences between white and Mexican wives, before they are called out on a gig. The generous amounts of swearing are bleeped out, though they could've just put this trailer under a red band instead, but we suppose that would limit the audience who doesn't know how to lie to get past age gates. Anyway, it's not particularly remarkable or funny, but the sequence does show David Ayers' voyeuristic approach utilizing all kinds of different cameras -- in the car, strapped on a helicopter -- to give the picture an added immediacy.
