De hecho, apunta asuntos de ambos: la obsesión por la ausencia del padre y su marca indeleble en el caso del autor de La noche es nuestra; y la carga social, la purga de los pecados, la inevitabilidad del castigo y la rebeldía en el fango del creador de Serpico y El príncipe de la ciudad.
A tight, chase-based ripper, 21 Bridges feels like something the great Sidney Lumet ( Serpico ; Dog Day Afternoon ; Prince of the City ) would have made back in the 1970s.
In its attempt to combine various heist flicks and classics like Serpico and Infernal Affairs with 'big themes', it lacks the focus to maintain a gripping momentum.
Like the latter in countless private and police detective dramas, everything from Deja Vu to Fallen , Inside Man to Training Day , Boseman has a cool intensity that fills the screen and an ability to make both the action scenes look convincing (here the main set-piece is a chase along the streets and the subway) and the dialogue riveting.
El carácter desafiante de La noche es nuestra o Training Day ha desembocado en producciones hiladas a base de clichés.
In short, it’s a low-stakes pal-around genre movie not unlike last year’s 21 Bridges , also produced by the Russos but starring fellow MCU staple Chadwick Boseman.
As for the Russos, they seem to have taken a step back from huge spectacles, producing this after "21 Bridges," a formula thriller designed for another Marvel star, Chadwick Boseman.
Their last venture 21 Bridges showcased Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman as a NYPD detective looking for answers surrounding a spree of cop killings.
Chadwick Boseman led last year’s 21 Bridges, Tom Holland plays an uncharacteristically dark role in the upcoming Cherry and Chris Hemsworth is the star of the energetic, gripping new Netflix actioner Extraction.
What Movies Will It Remind You Of?: Any number of modestly entertaining genre exercises that didn’t challenge Denzel Washington much, but whose performance nevertheless elevated them to watchable status: Out of Time , Safe House , The Equalizer , etc.
