Cop killers on the loose, shutdown Manhattan, 21 bridges, 4 tunnels, 3 rivers and loop the trains… there’s the setup, but to be honest they really could’ve said anything, the setup didn’t matter.

This is the most generic of cop thrillers with a plot you’ve seen a 100 times before from Dirty Harry onwards.

That said, this is still an enjoyable action thriller, Chadwick Boseman carries the film brilliantly and is well supported by Sienna Miller, Stephen James and the always dependable JK Simmons. While the plot is hugely unoriginal and the “twists” are signposted as well as the local town centre it rolls on at a good pace and its 99 minute running time leaves it pretty lean, for a story as flimsy it didn’t need to be overly complex and it isn’t.

The ending is a little contrived and unsurprising but overall if you’re looking to waste away an hour and half with a decent if not overly taxing cop thriller then 21 Bridges should fit the bill.
