“Badge too.”

From 21 Bridges.

When two robbers, Ray (Taylor Kitsch) and Michael (Stephen James), kick off what was supposed to be a simple cocaine heist, things quickly fall apart. First, the amount of cocaine was grossly undercounted, then the arrival of four police officers sets off a series of grisly shootouts in an effort to escape by any means necessary. Detective Andre Davis (Chadwick Boseman) is brought in to find the men responsible for the deaths of eight police officers. Davis’ strong commitment to the badge makes him a dedicated cop who is unafraid to search for the truth instead of just seeking revenge for the murdered officers like some other officers responding to the late night call. Deputy Chief Spenser (Keith David) and Captain McKenna (J. K. Simmons) of the 85th Precinct assign narcotics Detective Frankie Burns (Sienna Miller) to be Davis’ partner in the case, and through Davis’ urging the NYPD closes all the bridges, trains, and boats in and out of Manhattan until he can find the men responsible for the deadly attack. While Ray and Michael run with over 100 pounds of drugs in tow, they try to get away by using whatever criminal contacts they have (including Gary Carr, Louis Cancelmi, and Alexander Siddig). As the few hours he’s been given to keep the island closed creep by, Davis is desperate to find out the truth of how everything happened, regardless of where the truth might take him.

This action-packed thriller is full of realistic violence and suspense that will keep viewers glued to the screen. Boseman leads the solid cast as a dedicated detective spurred on by his complicated past. The violence is intense and often shown in detail, which will be a turn off for anyone not looking for gore. Written in such a way to draw the viewer into the lead’s search for truth and justice, 21 Bridges is a can’t-miss thriller that never lets up.
