The film does a good job in the exciting shootout and hunting plot. It can be said that it is exciting from start to finish, and will not make the audience feel that there is room for breathing. However, the story itself is really familiar. There are already many crime themes that have similar plots. So it feels a bit repetitive in the end. The most similar one is "Street Kings" starred by Keanu Reeves, which is almost the same, except that the protagonist is changed to African American, and the location is changed from Los Angeles to New York.
Having said that, the title 21 bridges is really incredible, the plot actually has nothing to do with this, and there are no 21 bridges in the film. Before watching the film, my colleagues and I were still joking. It's better to count how many bridges appeared in the film when I watched it. It turned out that a line in the film mentioned a total of 21 bridges from Manhattan to the outside, and then they were all blocked, nothing more. In other words, the 21 bridges actually only represent the story of the film taking place on Manhattan Island. Our protagonist didn't even get on the bridge. . .
The film is tense because it is true that the story takes place within a few hours of a day and night. From the incident to the early hours of the morning, our protagonist single-handedly fought the enemy wits and courageously, and finally solved the big case. It is really not easy. It is really better to call "One Night Detective".
The advantage of the film is that the criminals are really cruel and skilled, so it is no mercy to kill people. Unlike many movies that shoot a hundred rounds without hitting one, the robbers played by Taylor Kitsch in this film used to be soldiers. The marksmanship is fast and accurate. It is true that a single bullet is not wasted. As long as you shoot, you will kill you. . Taylor Kitsch is actually very suitable for playing the villain, but because of this, he missed the role of the Winter Soldier, because he lacks the occasional gentleness of the stuffed bag and the ability to switch between good and evil at any time. Kitsch is more suitable for this completely cold-hearted one. Role.
Such a powerful enemy definitely strengthened the atmosphere of terror. The other gunman is of African descent like the protagonist and detective. Naturally, there will be heart-to-heart dialogues between the black buddies, which is also a well-formed character. Leopard brother #Chadwick Boseman# is still quite cool. I am very happy to watch him perform a more realistic film without wearing national costumes and tights, showing his temperament as the number one man in action. I don't know why most of the films are police officers, but he is the coolest and most handsome man with a gun, as if everyone else is super dick.
Everyone in the film is racing against time, but the story is too old, leading to most of the turning points you can guess. It would be better if there were more novel ideas in the plot.
