United States, New York, late at night.
The night is shrouded, the metropolis is still feasting, and this city that never sleeps is very lively.
A BMW car drove into a dim street corner, and two men came out as soon as it stopped.
Wearing face masks and armed with submachine guns, they sneaked into a dry cleaner through the back door.
The BMW did not stall, the engine was still spinning, and there was a deep roar.
This is not an ordinary dry cleaner, because the owner's warehouse is full of drugs on display.
It is three hundred kilograms, which is not a small amount.
The masked person personally inspected the goods and concluded that the purity of this batch of goods was extremely high, and it would be a windfall to sell it.
Just when he was very excited, the other masked man was frightened and desperate to run away.
A windfall must also have a life to earn and a life to spend, or it may end up dismal.
If you are not capable, a windfall is about death.
But the masked man had no time to hesitate, because the police did not know when they had surrounded this place.
There were two front doors and two back doors. The police were fully armed and armed with live ammunition. They clearly smelled the danger in the air.
The air in the darkness solidified, and the tranquility before the storm began to disintegrate in the startling step by step.
Bang bang bang! The submachine gun spewed out of fearful anger, the bullets went through the air, and the police fell one after another.
Falling in a pool of his own blood, it turns out that the police's pistol is not the opponent of the submachine gun after all.
The masked man had just left the house and was about to evacuate with 50 kilograms of drugs. At the corner, two more police cars drove out.
Skynet is so sparse and not leaking, there is no door to escape.
The sound of gunfire pierced the calm of the night, and in the eyes of the masked man, the feasting city was like a predatory behemoth.
Again, the police's pistol is not the opponent of the submachine gun after all.
In the pool of blood, four more policemen fell down and couldn't afford it. The night was as cold as water, and they were boiled with blood at this moment.
In just a few minutes, eight policemen have died heroically, which is simply appalling.
After being shocked, the New York police arrived at the scene of the gun battle as quickly as possible.
One of the most prestigious is Detective Davis.
According to the rumors, Davis was jealous and vigorous in handling cases, and was courageous and courageous.
Since joining the company, he has used bullets to send many murderers to see Wang Ye.
Everyone in the underworld is changing their colors, so he gave him a nickname: Hell.
Only five minutes after arriving at the scene, Hell gave the first instruction: To completely block Manhattan, hurry up.
Manhattan has a total of 21 bridges connected to the outside world, and the entire territory must be sealed off, and none of them can be missed.
Detective Davis accurately judged that the gangsters were in Manhattan, and they must be prevented from flying.
It is one o'clock in the morning, and the police can block it for a maximum of five hours.
The FBI left a word. If it can't be done before six o'clock, Davis will figure it out.
Davis's move is tantamount to a military order.
Manhattan is so big, with so many neighborhoods, and so densely populated. It's not so easy to find two big people.
The New York police must race against time.
The above is the beginning of the movie "21 Bridges", but another translation seems more appropriate, "Running Manhattan".
This cop movie is fascinating almost from the first scene.
I believe that as an audience of Marvel fans, it may be a drama in the first place.
Because Detective Davis plays the leading actor in "Black Panther", Chadwick Bosman.
But the male protagonist in the film is just an ordinary New York policeman, and he doesn't have the black panther suit that pulls the wind.
But the overwhelming sense of justice and unwavering courage are in the same line.
For the audience who looked forward to "Black Panther 2" but couldn't see it for a while, it was a small satisfaction.
Facing the doubts of the internal affairs department, Davis had a line that said it well: DNA decided that I would be a policeman.
Davis' father was also a policeman, but died on duty in a law enforcement operation.
The murderer was still a drug addict, his soul floated when he shot, and he didn't know how many shots he shot.
Every bullet at that time, without exception, really hit Davis in the chest.
He was still a child that year, but he was unforgettable.
Xu Shi's call to fate, Davis soon discovered that this big case was also related to drugs.
This gangster movie looks old-fashioned and flat, but it gives people a sense of magic in the realism.
The entire search and arrest process can be said to be three sighs.
At first it was just a robbery, and it quickly turned into a murder case, but in the end it changed again, and it turned out to be a corruption case.
Davis was nicknamed Yama, but he was merciful everywhere. On the contrary, some of the New York police officers wanted to kill.
The contrast is sharp, there must be demons when things go wrong.
The truth of the film is not difficult to guess, nor does it need to be guessed. Everyone understands the classic elements in the police film.
This cop film is not complicated, has a small cost, and has no ambition, but it feels restrained everywhere.
Do not deliberately sensationalize, just talk about things, and stop at many points, but give people unlimited room for reverie.
The two unidentified criminals are simply cannon fodder in this criminal city.
When the blockade was lifted, Davis drove away, Manhattan behind him, and calm was restored.
The sun came out, and the sun was shining brightly, shining on the high-rise buildings in Manhattan, magnificent and warm.
Everything last night was like a dream, as if it had never happened.
The game between the police and the bandits, the competition between light and darkness, continues.
But the question is, is there an answer to the complexity of human nature and the end of justice?
If so, Davis is willing to spend his whole life thinking.
