'21 Bridges': Loud, violent and riveting old-school cop thriller

‘That’s the darn problem with trying to be stealthy in movies like this – all the freaking corpses lying around for you to trip over.’

In 21 Bridges, the brassy, bassy cop thriller that counts MCU darlings the Russo Brothers among its executive producers, everything is loud and aggressive.

Helicopters roar into frame accompanied by Henry Jackman and Alex Belcher's ominous, relentless music score. Gunfire makes your eardrums throb as though small cannons are going off around you. Cars collide like Transformers doing a chest-bump. Conversations are punctuated with bold declarations and sometimes, bursts of violence.
