Many film reviews have been misled by a crappy literal translation, 21 bridges, what the hell? This is not a movie about bridges, but a story about the infernal affairs of a policeman on Manhattan Island, New York. Manhattan Island is connected to the outside world through 21 bridges. 21Bridges is one of Manhattan's landmarks. The translation of the Hong Kong film title into "Manhattan Concludes Violence" is more accurate and vivid. But it would be even more perfect if it were translated into the Manhattan seal "Leopard". Is the male protagonist the Black Panther?
To give an inappropriate example, a woman’s English name is "Sherry". You can translate it into Shirley or a beauty. Why bother to call her real name Lao Rongzhi and Nong Cuihua?
