Thank you, David Ayer, for the research, resources, and experiences you used to write and direct this film. As a law enforcement officer, who grew up in a law enforcement family, and married another law enforcement officer, I have been inundated by the complex lifestyle of law enforcement since before I can remember. This film had a surprisingly accurate depiction of the bond and relationships that our co-workers, family members, and friends share.
Yes, the language is foul and the humor is crude. I apologize if this changes your perception of police, but that is just how we interact with one another. We are exposed to aggressive language and morbid situations throughout our careers. The language and humor is just how we cope, and Ayer hit the nail on the head in that aspect.
Most inspiring was the bond, passion, and trust debicted between Gyllenhaal and Pena. The brotherhood of law enforcement was embraced in a genuine manner that I have never seen in film before.
Overall, a fantastic ode to the purpose and passion of policing.
