It is an okay thriller for a dvd cinema evening. The story is not new but there are nice pictures from New York City. Chadwick made a good job. It was never boring because of the chase of the criminals. I think the running time is not too long. 5/10. A run of the mill police thriller which doesn't really do anything new, but is still good and entertaining to watch. Not as tense as I was expecting as it focuses on the drama and the pensive stances of the lead, but the acting's good (although the characters are rather cliché) and the action and overall style is realistic and gritty.

This is a great flick when nothing else is tempting. It's not that bad, but not great either.
It's old school cop versus robbers and it works. But other that that, it wants to be more layered than it really is. You'll guess the plot and accomplishes pretty quick.
But see it for what it is.

21 Bridges is a decent film that's perfectly average. It's main strength lies in its fast pace and a runtime that doesn't overstay its welcome. The acting is servicable, as is the action. The plot is quite shlocky but the movie doesn't fully commit to its ridiculousness. And that's why I think this movie would've been much better if it was released in 1991. The same premise starring Wesley Snipes spouting some one-liners Passenger 57 style would've been awesome. Simple action movies like this were made much better back then as they were amped up to 11 and had very charismatic leads and villains. That's not to say Chadwick Boseman is bad in this but it looks like he thought he was starring in a much more serious film. It's hard to imitate the style of action movies of yesteryear but the simple solution is to let directors and actors have more fun, make it more like Fast & Furious. Not everything needs to be overly serious and 21 Bridges could've definietly benefitted from being more shlocky.
