The film follows the two both on the job and in their private lives. Things turn sour when the two unknowingly start sticking their noses into the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel's activities that eventually puts a hit on their heads when they discover something they shouldn't have.The supporting cast includes Anna Kendrick, Natalie Martinez, America Ferrera, Frank Grillo, and David Harbour. The film is shot mostly with a video look to it, including many shots that are, In-Universe, taken by handheld camcorders, squad car cameras or the officers' lapel cams.This is not related to the Stephen King novel of the same title.

Zavala's victory, combined with his decision to only arrest the suspect on the original charge of disorderly conduct (as opposed to assault on a police officer) wins gangbanger Tre's grudging respect. He is later shown speaking well of Zavala, and eventually warns the protagonists of the hit that was placed on them.

When another one appears in front of the patrol car after a hit is placed on Z on Taylor, you know something bad is about to happen.

Professional police officers don't spit or leave any of their bodily functions on the crime scene. That confuses the case.

End of Watch / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: After Z's funeral, the film flashes back to a humorous story that Z tells about having to hide from his wife's parents the first night they had sex, which is funny as well as tragic given the information we know about his future.

End of Watch / int_a796d2a6	comment	Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The criminals in the film don't aim their weapons well, which doesn't help when using the notoriously inaccurate AKM. A team of five of them fire on Z and Taylor late in the film, from an elevated position where Z and Taylor have no cover from, and only end up landing one shot. It's even lampshaded by the lesbian gangbanger right after.

Z and Taylor find them duct-taped in the closet, because the father couldn't stand their crying.

Taylor and Z touch it at times, such as pulling juvenile pranks on their fellow officers, talking shit to van Hauser's face, annoying the ICE, repeatedly cursing and roughing up suspects, and engaging in very fratboy-like antics (not that the rest of the department, "Boot" and van Hauser notwithstanding, are much better).
