21 Bridges
A derivative, predictable, competent crime thriller. If you read that sentence and think "good," then you will like this film, and the opposite is true as well.
The banality points to the banality of everything about this film — it seems to avoid contrivance and missteps and misfires more than it goes out of its way to court success.
Boseman is wonderful, but his character is given absolutely nothing to do besides act with competence and rationality. The standout — the one character both written and portrayed with any sense of moral valence — is Taylor Kitsch as a trigger-happy dude who is both clearly insane but also cares deeply about his companion. When thinking about this movie I am drawn to a comparison with the-rip, given that I watched it so recently, and I find myself at least grateful for the economy in this film's runtime and its willingness to trust that the viewer is at least spending their time watching the film and not scrolling on their phone.
