The End of Violence

Watch The End of Violence (1997) online — Wim Wenders' dark urban parable, a Germany-France-US co-production starring Bill Pullman, Andy MacDowell, and Gabriel Byrne.

Mike Max makes his living selling other people's appetite for brutality — his Hollywood action films are built on it. Across town, government scientist Ray Bering is quietly deploying a covert surveillance network over Los Angeles, certain that enough cameras can eliminate crime where the law has failed. A botched kidnapping sends Mike's life into freefall, pulling him into contact with Bering's hidden project. Wenders isn't interested in suspense mechanics; the film asks something slower — whether violence can actually end, or whether we just keep moving it around.
