Manhattan Lockdown

"We got twenty-one bridges in and out of Manhattan. Shut them down. Three rivers. Close them. Four tunnels. Block them. Stop every train and loop the subways. Then, we flood the island with blue."

Well, that's the gist of this movie! Could have been ho-hum, but Chadwick Boseman makes it much better than that! He really was one heck of an actor! And he make his character, Andre Davis, really smoke on the screen! I'd have loved to see a sequel with this character. And, of course, any more that Mr. Boseman would have done. So sad that we lost such a fine, fine actor...

Overall I thought this was a pretty good action thriller. While the storyline was a bit simplistic and predictable, the execution was top notch. Boseman played the part of hardened cop really well, and the supporting characters held their own. The storyline had good flow and kept up a good pace throughout. Enjoyable and worth the time to watch.

Good old fashioned cops and robbers movie,solid acting and great shootouts.Wish there was more of this type of movie!

Two men hold up and rob an illegal drug operation but in order to escape end up killing eight police officers. Leading the manhunt for the cop-killers is a detective under internal investigation for possibly being too trigger-happy. However, the more he finds out about the case, the less sense it makes.

Interesting drama. Starts off as a robbery gone wrong, then develops into a manhunt, then becomes something more intriguing. The manhunt part is quite intriguing, as we see the net closing and the methods involved. It is also quite action-packed without getting too over the top.

The intrigue rachets up as you go along and things are clearly not as they seem. The revelation at the end is a tad implausible though and can be seen well before the end.

Overall, a good, thrilling movie. Grabs your attention from the word go and doesn't let go.

Aside from being very predictable, Chadwick Boseman was "too much" in his character and very melodramatic, as was the score during highlighted scenes. Otherwise, the directing was on point, the casting great, and the run-time and pacing perfect. I enjoyed it more than I thought. 7/10 from me
