00:00There are 21 bridges in and out of the island. Shut them down.
00:03What island? Manhattan.
00:07Congratulations. Life After Black Panther, we see you still working, still doing amazing things.
00:12This is so different from things that you've done before.
00:16How do you feel it has legs to stand up next to other commentary around police?
00:22I like this movie for that.
00:24I like it because I don't think it shines away from it.
00:29It's not a preachy movie.
00:32What I like about this film is that my character is misunderstood.
00:38He has his own code.
00:40In some ways, he's the cop that we need.
00:43He's the cop that's going to make sure that you fight for justice.
00:48At least he's trying to.
00:49First and foremost, it's a thriller.
00:53At its core, it's a movie that moves.
00:55It has a lot of pace, a lot of energy.
00:59And even though it's high action, it's rooted in character and humanity, which I think that we don't really see too many of those films being made too much anymore, especially in cinema.
01:09So I was excited to be a part of it for those reasons.
01:12Well, I think the concept is a big concept.
01:14You know, the lockdown of Manhattan to facilitate a manhunt.
01:17I mean, that's one thing.
01:18And obviously, the core concept elevates it and distinguishes it.
01:22But also for me, it's the humanity of the film.
01:25It's the fact that, you know, one man sets out to apprehend another man to capture him.
01:30He's being urged by those around him to kill that man because they're, you know, full of anger and grief.
01:37And he ends up actually risking his life to stand alone and protect him in the interest of truth and justice.
01:43And I think that that's a beautiful journey for an actor.
01:46It's a beautiful journey for an audience.
01:48What I liked mostly about it was the level of credibility from Jump Street.
01:56You know, when I read it, the opening sequence, it could have almost been one of those, like, magazine series, you know, or docu-series where you were reacting to something that really went down.
02:11I don't know whether the situation actually happened or not.
02:15Right, right, right.
02:15But it certainly is credible.
02:17The difference is Chadwick Boseman.
02:19You know, you've never seen him in a role like this before.
02:24You know, you know him, of course, from Black Panther, James Brown, and Thurgood Marshall.
02:30So you get to see him be an action star, a cop.
02:35He's the son of a slain police officer.
02:39And, you know, these guys who do this heist, they lay down about eight cops in Brooklyn.
02:47And so he has to find out how to capture them.
02:50So he takes it personal, of course, because of his father, you know.
02:53So he has that PTSD, you know, and he does an amazing job.
02:57And he's a producer on the film, so I'm happy to be a part of it.
