The story of two cops who are also best friends, and have a slight hero complex type thing going on. The dialogue is a strong point in this film. As they cruise around Los Angeles and chat, we begin to get an impression of the bond between the two. All the action is unnecessary, really. If the whole thing was just these two guys talking, and not really going anywhere, I'd have rated it higher. The dialogue brings to mind many of Tarantino's movies, as it rarely goes anywhere, but for some reason is captivating, and gives an insight into their personalities.
The whole movie builds their happiness up. I've just finished watching 'The Walking Dead', and thanks to that I've come to expect death post happiness. So I wasn't getting too attached, and rolling my eyes at the end a little, but they did it OK.
The post-death scene was nice, where they cut to earlier footage of the two chatting, it made me miss them more, which was obviously what they were going for. The handheld camera used throughout is a big no-no for me though, it's never been good, and isn't even a new idea any more. What's worse is that while much of the footage is from Brian's handheld (which he keeps getting in trouble for using) lots of it is from a non-existent camera (how it is in most movies). The combination seems lazy. If you've decided to do a found footage film, follow through with the entirety, don't mix it up.
