21 Bridges

A bad tip & bad timing turn a drug heist into a citywide manhunt for dangerous cop killers armed with assault weapons. Righteous NYPD detective Andre Davis (Chadwick Boseman) leads the search team in this intense cop/crime drama. Taylor Kitsch, Stephan James, J.K. Simmons, & Sienna Miller (projecting her best New Yorker accent) are among the supporting cast. It’s quite an adrenaline rush thrill ride as containment tightens from shutting down the 21 bridges in & out of Manhattan to a 7 block radius. The cops are hot of the trail of the suspects just steps behind as the clock keeps ticking. Boseman gives a commanding performance on screen & his character’s background is quickly & skillfully spelled out. Police procedures & officers’ concerns are detailed in the script. It’s amazing how you can make Philly look like you are in New York City.

Alien gives it 3½ “making the right decision” stars out of 4.
