this i must say:
watch all david ayer's movies.
i am impressed by this movie. the fact that it doesn't feel like a movie. it feels like a camera follows two young cops around downtown LA carry out their duty calls. both micheal pena and jake gyllenhaal are so genuine you would think they are partners in real life. i love the camera work by roman vasyanov. one thing that stands out about this movie is that - there is no cheesy moments in trying to define heroism (or any values for that matter) - it is what it is - two people doing their jobs, they are regular people with regular people dreams, and sometimes they die violently by mobsters who knows no mercy.
it is a cruel world out there, i rather directors and screen writers not to sugar coat it. it is still bitter and will stay that way.
