End of Watch

End of Watch is David Ayer’s best movie to date and, obviously, is not based on a comic book. However, since it helps us catch a glimpse into the lives of the most hardened gangsters, it should be mentioned here. Especially since the Suicide Squad version of the Joker is a psychotic gangster.

And there is a reference to this movie in Suicide Squad. When Joker attempts to free Harley in the helicopter scene, he is using a gold-plated machine gun. And it’s the same type of gold plated machine gun found by Michael Peña’s Mike Zavala in End of Watch.

Which is a nice nod to Ayer’s previous works, as far as I am concerned. And, if Ayer directs the next Suicide Squad movie, as well, I wouldn’t mind seeing more Easter-Eggs such as this one.
