Review of 21 Bridges (2019) by Healingtoolbox — 15 Dec 2019
75/100 Better title: "Look the Devil in the Eye." This is said twice in the film. 21 bridges is not a tangible image nor are they used as significant locations. This is the production values of Captain America: Winter Soldier applied to a 1980s NY cops movie script.
It's watchable and well-paced. Critics imagining director or scripters were attempting to "say something" about 2019 I think are imagining things. I saw no evidence this was more than 1980s tropes assembled and packaged.
Do corrupt cops still do what is suggested here? I kind of doubt it. If you want up-to-date realism in your cop stories, you can't do better than Blue Bloods on CBS.
