For a New York cop and his witness, the distance between life and death just got very short!
Boozy and disillusioned, aging cop Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) is assigned the seemingly ordinary task of escorting a fast-talking witness (Mos Def) from police custody to a courthouse. However, even with 2 hours to make 16 blocks, this is no ordinary court case and there are forces inside and outside the police who will do anything to prevent the duo from reaching their destination alive...

16 Blocks - a review,
By
This review is from: 16 Blocks [DVD] [2006] (DVD)
In my opinion a pretty decent thriller with Willis giving one of his better performances of recent years.The story takes place in New York with Willis transporting a prisoner the "16 Blocks" to get him to his court hearing.Given the relatively restricted location the film makers have done a decent job of constructing a plot that isn't insulting and obvious and have coaxed good performances out of a weary looking Willis and a cool mean looking David Morse as Willis's adversary.The plot development and it's little twists and turns come fairly evenly paced to keep you interested with a couple of those "there's no way he can get out of this one scenarios" to ratchet up the suspense factor.All in all a pretty decent thriller that deserved more of a fanfare on it's release and should hve earned Willis a little credit for his acting skills for once.
Enjoyable stuff.

Somethings missing...,

This review is from: 16 Blocks [DVD] [2006] (DVD)
16 BLocks isn't a rubbish film, I have to admit that before I continue with this review. The acting was good, and the story wasn't that bad but boy, was it slow. It started off at a normal pace. A bit of gunfire, a few laughs, first impressions of different characters. But suddenly it just went. The whole atmosphere that had been around in the first 30 minutes suddenly vanished and the next hour or so was really boring. And I don't know why?! Bruce Willis and Mos Def worked really well together and the story was going somewhere but I found it just got to a point where I was looking out the window, thinking of other things and not paying attention because it had got to the point where it was really, really slow and dull. Now I like Bruce Willis and I am a fan of edge of your seat thrillers but this one didn't do it for me. As I said before, not a bad film but to slow and boring for my liking.
