Critics Consensus

21 Bridges covers its beat competently enough, but given its impressive cast, this cop thriller should be more arresting than it is.

Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) The problem with 21 Bridges is that it wants to take a stance, but seems entirely unsure what that stance should be. Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle Wrap those performances in a few half-decent plot points... and the film offers enough depth to justify the set-pieces and narrative twists and turns. Rated: 3/5 Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review A very solid cast, but the characters are drawn with very broad strokes...it's a nuts-and-bolts B-movie thriller set-up that is executed efficiently. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Nyle Coleman InSession Film You won't leave the theater with lots to discuss with 21 Bridges but you will leave satisfied. It is a solid film that is doing just enough to keep the audience happily entertained. Rated: C+ May 1, 2024 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Predictable, yet some times extremely entertaining and fun. Boseman creates a cool stereotypical cop hero in a movie that doesn't add much to the genre, but at least does not subtracts from it. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 It is incredibly intense. As a movie-going experience it is so much fun... [but] the narrative twist - the audience is in on it before the characters. Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
