(Richard Augusztin) 09/24/2012 9:53 PM EDT Although 10 Years started off on the slower side for me, as the movie progressed I realized why; the heart of the film lies with the characters' shared back stories, and how each defies or yields to the expectations set for them long ago.

(Paul Kates) 09/20/2012 12:26 PM EDT TV in the UK in the 1970's may not have been unqualifiedly describable as brilliant, but one of the shining lights from that era was cop show "The Sweeney", which starred the late great John Thaw and Dennis Waterman as Regan and Carter.

(John Delia) 09/20/2012 12:05 PM EDT Crime dramas seem to be taking over the action entertainment scene as witnessed on both the big screen and television. End of Watch however, happens to be one of the better ones.
