A drug deal gone bad and dirty cops…nothing original here. And there’s not much unique in the storytelling either. Chadwick Boseman stars as the idealistic cop who’s charged with solving a cocaine heist that results in 8 murdered cops. To trap the culprits before they can escape Manhattan, he orders all bridges shut down (hence, the title). The plot plays out predictably without any surprises in what should be a twisty tale (any savvy moviegoer will spot the corruption early on). It might be OK if there had been anything original in the direction, but as it is, the action is average and the storytelling is bland.
