21 Bridges

In this film, the late Chadwick Boseman plays the part of Andre Davis, a New York City cop who has some red in his ledger. He has been under review by internal affairs numerous times. The opening scene of the film sees him again under investigation from internal affairs.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Brooklyn, two men go to an Italian restaurant that has an extra side business of being a distributor of cocaine. The men were told there would be 30 bricks to pick up; instead, there were 300!! They decide to take 50 bricks, and then head back to their drug boss. 

Just as the two men are about to leave the restaurant, the cops show up. How did they know? How are the men going to get out of this? 

Without sharing any spoilers, Boseman is the officer assigned to the scene to find the two men who stole the drugs. What he finds in addition to the two men, well, that's what movies are made of.

I watched this movie because Chadwick Boseman passed away last month. It was wonderful to see another of his performances.

Now streaming, available on DVD, 3 stars.
