By Dann Gire
Sep 21, 2012 1:13 PM - "End of Watch" eschews Hollywood conventions by focusing on the everyday events in cops' lives, the banter between two partners plus the sense of community that they enjoy with fellow officers, a blue bond that transcends race, color and religion.

By Melissa Silverberg
