Nash Bridges (2021 TV Movie)
7/10
Cheesy af, but fun and entertaining.

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.
