21 Bridges: 5 Things to Know About Chadwick Boseman’s New Movie
1. It’s Non-SuperHero Movie
Forget how used you are to seeing Chadwick Boseman slay his enemies as the fierce Black Panther, the trailer of 21 Bridges does little to hide the fact that the film’s plot is a huge step away from that of the Black Panther storyline. The movie is not superhero-themed which means no pretty costumes to give Boseman an exotic look.
2. 21 Bridges Plot
Written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, the film sees Boseman portraying the character of Andre Davis, who goes through the horrible experience of losing his dad, who is a cop, and as a result, he grows up nursing disdain for cop killers. He joins the NYPD as a detective and is bent on hunting any cop killer down. A case involving cop killers arises and Andre Davis is called in to hunt down those responsible. He goes to extremes to get these guys and shuts down every possible route out of Manhattan, including closing all of the city’s 21 bridges, from which the film derives its name. The trailer for the movie is rather bland as it is one of those trailers that give the entire movie away. Perhaps, there is something more the director of the film has in stock for fans. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
