Jake-Gyllenhaal at Cast Photocall For 'Othello'
Ever since his breakthrough in the 1999 biopic October Sky, Jake Gyllenhaal has delivered over 25 years' worth of amazing performances without yet achieving an Academy Award. From his gripping lead performance as Lou Bloom in Dan Gilroy's Nightcrawler and his intense physical transformation to portray Billy Hope in Southpaw to his only Academy Award nomination to date for Brokeback Mountain, an Oscar feels like a certain possibility in the future of the hugely talented Gyllenhaal.
Among his many great performances, perhaps one of the more underrated came in 2012's End of Watch, the thrilling R-rated crime drama starring Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña. As of February 1, 2026, you'll be able to watch this great performance on Plex in the U.S. Praised universally, End of Watch earned a"certified fresh" 85% from critics and 86% from audiences on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus on the site reads,"End of Watch has the energy, devotion to characters, and charismatic performances to overcome the familiar pitfalls of its genre and handheld format." For anyone yet to catch this unflinching crime drama, a synopsis for End of Watch reads: "Longtime LAPD partners and friends, Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala patrol one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Though they may bend the rules, their honor and dedication to the job are unquestioned. Taylor and Zavala always have each other's back, even if Taylor's surreptitious filming of their daily activities for a college course is a bit ill-advised. All hell breaks loose for the officers when they run afoul of a vicious Mexican cartel." Was 'End of Watch' a Box Office Hit? During its theatrical run between September 2012 and January 2013, End of Watch earned a seemingly unremarkable box office haul of $57.5 million worldwide. However, made for just $15 million, this global total marks success for Open Road Films and co., with the final total split between $41 million in domestic revenue and a further $16.5 million from overseas markets. For the aforementioned Open Road, the film is their ninth highest-grossing project of all time worldwide, with their highest, and the only one to reach over $100 million, being 2014's The Nut Job starring Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser, and Liam Neeson.
