When Brian Kirk directs the funeral of André Davis's father in 21 Bridges, you see the whole of the NYPD paying respect to their fallen comrade in a fantastic overhead scene. And André grows up unafraid to take out those who kill cops, as he follows his father into the service. He never shoots first though, as Chadwick Boseman tells the IA investigation. That's fair then. He'll only take out cop killers with reason. So give him a reason.
And when small time thieves Taylor Kitsch and Stephan James take on a job to steal 30 kilos of coke on ice, the stakes are raised when there is an unexpected 300 kilos of pure, uncut drugs in the freezer. And all hell breaks loose when the local police turn up. Armed with automatic weapons the pair leave all eight of NYPD's finest dead, along with the wine shop manager. André now has a reason.
J.K. Simmons, how great an actor is he? as the precinct captain, specifically wants him on the job. The 85th have just lost eight of their colleagues. He wants him to shoot first, ask questions later. Clean kills will give closure to the families, with no criminal cases and appeals going on for years. Shoot first doesn't seem to be André's style, but he is paired with Sienna Miller from Narcotics, seems reasonable given the drugs haul, and her Frankie Burns, with a daughter at home, wants to know that André has her back. André would prefer to work alone, but he does, when she's wearing that badge. And she really wants him to shoot first.
The FBI want the job but André fights for the NYPD to find the killers themselves. He figures out who they are dealing with from the bullet shells, how many shooters there are, and the fact they aren't likely to get out of Manhattan. The Sopranos isn't real! His plan? Locking Manhattan down. Shut down the bridges, close the rivers, block the tunnels, stop the trains and loop the subway. Then flood the island with blue to flush out the criminals.
Meanwhile our shellshocked small-time crooks make it to their rendezvous, where they are caught on camera, and manage to get across to the drug dealers who gave them the job. Cutting a better deal with their haul, now worth unexpected millions, they are given a fixer's details; Gotham's Alexander Siddig's Adi. He gives them new identities and explains how they can clean the money through him. But more NYPD police arrive unexpectedly. They have a knack of turning up at just the right time. And our two small time crooks, now splashed across the tv news, are starting to suspect something isn't right, as they blast their way out of another gunfight. It was Taylor Kitsch's Michael who pulled his gun on the cops, and Stephan James's Ray took out the shop manager. Both veterans, and both now well and truly in the police line of fire.
It's difficult to catch a good cops and robber story these days, the edges are so blurred! but Brian Kirk keeps the action fast and tight in the amazing backdrop of the city (apparently filmed in Philly) but it's a cinematographers dream with the New York skyline, and has gunfights and chases galore. And the noose is getting ever tighter for Ray and Michael as André keeps narrowing down their neighbourhood. But he only has until 5am before Manhattan has to be reopened, and the FBI take over. The NYPD want them dead before then. Even if André wants to keep them alive to tell their side of a story that doesn't add up. Michael and Ray running into 300 kilos of coke was either a set up, or just bad luck. Neither good. But it's up to trigger happy André to figure out which, and how high, and how wide, this thing goes.
Throw in a few vampires and you would really have a dusk til dawn partee. They'll love the blood! And Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, I remember you so long ago in Covenant, here with Stephan James you really picked the wrong drugs deal, and you never stood a chance. But can you really blame them? as J.K. Simmons explains. But is his Captain McKenna feeling lucky.
