The problem with 21 Bridges is that it wants to take a stance, but seems entirely unsure what that stance should be.

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.

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.

Director Brian Kirk didn't do a good job at separating this movie from others in the genre.
