The Review: 21 Bridges


21 Bridges 8/10

This movie was actually good. I say that because when I saw the trailer for this a few years ago they showed the entire movie in it and while watching I was hoping that that wasn't true. Turns out it is. They give away way too much in the damned trailer and I could imagine watching this and being surprised by the twists and turns. Oh, right. Plot. This kid named Andrew Davis is at the funeral for his father who was a cop that was killed. Years later he is a detective and has a reputation for killing guys. Meanwhile these two dudes are robbing a food spot for cocaine when there turns out to be ten times as much as they were expecting. Cops show up cause every single cop in this film is dirty. Like, all of them. Andre is taking this personal cause his dad was killed and is hunting these two dudes down while also dealing with police who become cartoonishly dirty. This is another one of those movies where it seems like some people know what it is and others are acting like this is a straight to streaming film and not really giving their all. I would still recommend this because it goes fast and something is always happening. I watched this on Netflix.
