Nash Bridges

And still makes the wheel run and the smile come. Dum johnson isnt so dum after all, acting quite good specially in the latterhalf of the film, and cheech is the god of old laid out cops as us seniors remembers from back then.

Its a tv movie with some abrupt stops (commercial breaks) that destroys the rythm a bit, its a nanotech detective mystery to be solved, with dead bodies killed by the smallest ever lethal weapons, nanobots. A bit complex maybe, but i can calm everybody down, it a teany weany mainy moe story with crooks and eastern hemispherical hudlums , mma cages and chemistry vs. Sanfransicanian on and of coppers doing their deeds for a better world for all of us.

So let yourself be entertained, at a tv-movie standard by el manno of men that still knows their acts. A should see film of nostalgic reasons thinks the grumpy old man.

It could have worked if Cheech & Don were mentoring their children who were cops, the same way that James Gammon (Nick Bridges) did in the original series. In 2000, Cheech & Don were already too old for their roles. But now, 71 and 75 year old cops are patently rediculous!

Don Johnson definitely has something to deliver in a media role as the cool old guy. But Nash Bridges is no longer that role -- unless he plays an undercover investigator cracking down on senior citizen abuse by the professional guardianship cartel.

Don't they have Continuity people for these projects?

The timeline was totally screwed up. They never established how long it was after the end of the series, which in actual time was 20 years. They had Nash and Joe being partners 25 years, which they were during the run of series. They ignored that Nash was a Captain and Joe was a Lieutenant at end of series, so why is he taking orders from another Captain? If Nash was demoted he would've walked. Nash knew the Captain in the movie 30 years, yet that was from when she and Cassidy were in Police Academy together, which would've been long before the series. Towards end Joe is talking about going on a date. Did Inger pass, or were her and Joe divorced? Also didn't care for gratuitous destruction of the 'Cuda. Would expect it not to have lasted 50 years. When it was a car with daily wear and tear

For the few positives, they did mention what Cassidy was up to, being in Army Intelligence. Nash's flirtation with the Police Dept. Shrink ( Would be curious to know if Nash now had more ex-wives than NCIS's Jethro Gibbs?). Butting heads with Steven Colton, the young stick up his ass know it all.

What they should have done was have Nash and Joe retired, still running the Bridges and Dominguez Detective Agency and being Consultants to the SFPD. Looks like Nash won't return as a series again, as was hoped for. Maybe someone will reboot Spenser For Hire and get it right.

... since I am one. And, believe it or not, all of us started out as children. Plus, if anyone has earned the right to take back this role, even if only for a sparkly 90 minutes, it would be Johnson. Who practically invented a character we now take for granted in series after series, and movie after movie. (Just like 86 year old Bob Joyce, who astonishingly still has most of his vocal range, has earned the right to sing Elvis songs whenever he darn well wishes). Viewers hoping for Citizen Kane will be disappointed. Fans looking for solid nostalgia will love this film. To date, however, the best recycling of once top-tier talent remains Jackie Chan's The Foreigner (2017). A truly astonishing film.

People need to lighten up. So what if Don is 70+. It feels like a long episode of Nash bridges. Nothing too sophisticated just a mysterious police case to be solved. And lots of nostalgia from Nash and his partner. Overall a nice watch.
