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.

... 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.

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.

I was really hoping to see a remake of this series as the original was one of my all time favorites. As far as the characters go it was great. What I did not appreciate were the gaping plot holes. I'm sure there was more to this that was cut out to fit a time slot. If this had been split into two 2-hour shows it would have worked a lot better. The parts that were missing would have made the whole story work better. It's hard to get into something when you get lost in the first 30 minutes.

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.
