On August 28, 2020, it was announced that Chadwick Boseman had died aged just 43 from complications of colon cancer. One of the latest films from the Black Panther star, action-thriller 21 Bridges is now available by subscription on Netflix and is recommended for anyone looking for a throwback to classic genre cinema.
That's what 21 Bridges is about
It's the worst day in 18 years for New York City Police Department officers: Eight law enforcement officers were shot in one fell swoop, leaving city cops uneasy. For disgraced detective Andre Davis (Chadwick Boseman), however, this is a prime opportunity to make amends - as he's supposed to find the culprits in the metropolis.
To isolate Manhattan from mainland New York as quickly as possible, all 21 bridges will be closed for the first time in the city's history. No one can enter or exit. As urban boundaries are narrower than ever, the roles of hunter and hunter are becoming increasingly blurred. In his search for those responsible behind it all, Davis uncovers a massive conspiracy...
Old school cinema like in the 1980s
For those who primarily associate Chadwick Boseman with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "21 Bridges" offers a very simple alternative. The action-thriller is primarily based on tough 1980s and 1990s genre cinema and works like a great urban western.where makers express again and again their passion for handmade gunfire.
In FILMSTARTS' official review, "21 Bridges" wasn't particularly celebrated, but chief reviewer Christoph Petersen still finds praise - especially for the burly lead actor: “Chadwick Boseman casts the protagonist as a smart, fair, but also ruthless lawman, a modern John Wayne character with plenty of rugged charisma. »
The official FILMSTARTS review of “21 Bridges”
“21 Bridges” is something for any movie buff who has had enough of CGI hardware battles. Instead, in Brian Kirk's action-thriller, great value is placed on the fact that the action not only looks real, but also that the high-performance computer medium is not absolutely necessary. In this regard, the review says:
“The action scenes aren't particularly original, but they're skillfully done with no CGI frills. […] If you just want to revisit 80s craft action, you might still be in the right place despite all the shortcomings.
Although they hardly caused a sensation in the cinema: Two horror films are currently conquering the charts of Streaming on Netflix!
