Wow. What a rudderless waste of time this piece of shit was.

Wow. What a rudderless waste of time this piece of shit was.

Why was this lauded again? By the end of it I was still waiting for an actual story to kick in.

Not bad, it's just I couldn't buy the idea that a cop would be allowed to video tape himself on the job.

>>69084832
Are you fucking kidding me?

Every single character was almost entirely devoid of any development or, funnily enough, any character. The central conflict was just downright lazy and barely extended beyond "DA CARTEL", which would be fine if it had bothered to flesh things out a bit more. The pacing was absolute dog shit as well, literally nothing happened until the last 15 minutes. I get that the unseen elements are supposed to be the crux of why this movie is what it is, but it just doesn't work.

>pacing
>character development
It has both of these. You probably didn't like it because it was a found-footage movie. The entire point of a found-footage movie is to be as immersive as possible. The plot was simple because it's next to impossible to make a found-footage movie story intricate. The only way I've seen it done is when characters literally explain everything in big chunks of dialogue.

this annoyed me, stick to one or the other ffs

and the dialogue was frat bro shit tier
>>
>>69085703
Exactly. People in this thread whinging about "BUH BUH IT'S FOUND FOOTAGE STUPID THE PLOT IS MEANT TO BE THIN!!!!" should take at least some issue with the fact that the movie felt no problem with introducing traditional camera work to showcase certain scenes and exchanges, while neglecting others for, what people seem to be justifying it with in this thread anyway, "found footage".

>>69085672
You have no idea what you're talking about, you fucking plebeian. This movie didn't fucking work as a found footage film at all. The way the story was told was entirely undermined by the non-found footage segments, rendering the actual found footage segments nothing more than a gimmick.

If you actually think Latino gangs in LA roll around with fucking diamond encrusted AKs in their cars then you're a fucking idiot. A lot of it was very sensationalized, which is ironic considering you accused me of being some sperg with a low attention span.

Yeah that would never happen

It was also the small things like the cop characters fist fighting to gain respect/weird relationship the LAPD have with their neighborhood

That article won't load for me for some reason. I assume from the title that since it entails Mexican soldiers, this took place in Mexico? Because I'm talking about LA. MS 13 and the like absolutely would not ride around with traceable and unique firearms, and any members doing so would be discouraged to do so.
>>
>>69088219
No we don't.
>>
>>69088219

beaners actually love white people since they respect the hard work that white did to make this country great. they absolutely hate niggers though
>>
>>69088234
Their dumbass cousins from LA have

Point is that the movie hit the inner-city cop and the awkward/scary relationship with their neighboorhood pretty well
>>
>>69084960
Almost all cop cars have dash cams and many cities are considering body cams.

Not a stretch at all.

Yes, but that's their dumbass cousins from LA. The guys who got caught in the movie were important fucking people who answered to very high powers, or so it's implied. One guy was running people, and the other guy was running cash from the home of his boss' mother.
