Nash Bridges

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.

Yes, sure there are plot holes galore, but my issue is that most could've easily been avoided. Maybe it was intentional, to follow the style of the original series, but I wish they had improved that element, because the rest of the film was more entertaining than expected. Cheech seemed high pretty much the entire film, and I actually didn't mind lol. His chemistry with Johnson - who basically carried the entire film with his stand-out performance, worked well. I'd say all the attempts at humor couldn't have been more cheesier, but I still found myself smiling ear to ear throughout the entire film. Directing was spot on, and the stories main plot was actually a good idea. The 82 min runtime and decent pacing flew by, that I actually wanted more. I do hope they reboot at least another few sequels from past popular episodes. Loved the SF landscape and muscle cars. The rest of the casting and performances were entertaining - cheese and all, especially newb actress Angela Ko who performed like a seasoned actor. We need to see more of Donny, he's aged well, and his screen presence is still strong. If you're a fan of the series - or not, this is still a fun and entertaining watch. It's a 7/10 from me.

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.

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.

This movie checked all the boxes for inclusiveness but none for entertainment. About as far from the original as you could get. The woke society must think it's great.
