Nash Bridges

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.

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.

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.

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.
