After a period where there were not many movie stars capable of leading premieres that were not connected to a franchise, all of them are beginning to appear. a generation of fascinating new actors who are piquing public interest. A new phenomenon that arrives late for some Marvel stars who will now be associated with superheroes and will have a harder time doing original projects.
It would have been interesting to know if Chadwick Boseman would have been able to change his destiny if he had not died so soon. Of course he wanted to try it with films like dead end manhattana full-fledged thriller that can be seen on Amazon Prime Video Limited Time. June 19 is the last day that will remain in the catalog.
Detective André Davis, from New York City, is chosen to be in charge of the investigation of the murder of several police officers that have occurred in recent days during the production of a robbery. Eight officers died, giving an important character to the case. Perfect opportunity for the detective to redeem himself from his troubled past.

With the help of his partner, Frankie Burns, he will begin a brutal chase through the streets of Manhattan with the aim of finding the culprits. Due to the nature of the case, for the first time in the history of the city, the entrances and exits to the island will be closed, giving urgency to an investigation that will reveal things much darker than expected.
Boseman was chosen to lead this project, with a cast that also includes Sienna Miller or JK Simmons, and could have had another important face of Marvel Like Chris Pratt. Those who did sign up for this factory were Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame who served as producers of the film.
‘Manhattan without exit’: urban tension
But the proposal deliberately seeks to distance itself from Marvel’s superhero fantasy. Here we find a very traditional urban thriller, with a series of intrigues spread over 90 minutes. The action at street level gives realism and urgency to what we see, creating a vehicle of tension.
Did you realize you held a minute of silence for Chadwick Boseman while watching ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’?
What in another era would have been an important project for a top actor, was one of Boseman’s attempts to carve out a future outside of the Marvel Universe. And he did not lack powers, since he led this thriller with good poise and presence. Who knows if he wouldn’t have been able to give us more films of this caliber if he hadn’t passed away.
