The Russos are get this summer’s21 Bridges , which Boseman is headlining for STX . direct by Brian Kirk ( Luther , Game of Thrones ) from a script by Matthew Michael Carnahan ( Deepwater Horizon ) and Adam Mervis ( The Philly Kid),21 Bridgesstars Boseman as Andre Davis , an NYPD officeholder who was only a male child when his Church Father - a bull himself - was gunned down in the line of obligation . When two men bolt down several cops during a shootout on Manhattan Island , Davis chop-chop moves to shut the island down and catch them before it opens up again . For more , watch thetrailerbelow .
Much likethe21 Bridgesfootage show at CinemaCon , the lagger offers a ready looking at at the celluloid ’s many notable actor , including Keith David , Sienna Miller , and J.K. Simmons . Taylor Kitsch andIf Beale Street Could let the cat out of the bag ’s Stephan James also show up here as the two gunmen in interrogation , who come to agnize that the problem they were hired for is part of a much bighearted and more dangerous conspiracy than they thought . Indeed , the trailer nod to the musical theme that Andre ’s determination to close up off Manhattan Island for a few hours ( including , yes , the twenty - one bridge connecting it to the rest of New York ) could have an enormous impact on the stock market , among other things .
By the look of things,21 Bridgeshas the makings of a thin , mean , and well - acted bit of genre fare . The film does n’t really seem to break the mould for this sorting of crime - thriller and hits on a lot of the expected trope , but its firmly - boiled dialogue and natural action appear to be in safe hand here . It also doubles as a display case for Boseman and should allow the actor to flex his acting chops once again , much like he has to great success in his previous leading roles ( non - MCU and Marvel link up alike ) . As a change of pace from the summertime ’s big , showy blockbusters,21 Bridgesmay yet do the conjuration .
