Re: End of Watch
Cloverfield was basically consistent though in telling the story from that "specific perspective."
End of Watch was not.
They would use that perspective some of the time. In my opinon even when they used it, it felt a little unbelievable - I mean was he just randomly filming stuff? Why was he filming? Was that ever explained? Maybe I missed it.
And then mixing in video recordings from different aspects of their lives - the girlfriend filming herself, the wedding video, whatever else that was thrown in there...
And then sometimes using a traditional (if a bit shaky) filmmaking approach made it visually (like the story) kind of a jumbled mess.
Jeez, I just can't let this go, can I?
I guess it's because I'm such a big fan and had such high (maybe unrealistic?) hopes for this.
