Intrigue , action and suspense with a sensational Bruce Willis
The film concerns an experienced but tiring cop named Jack (Bruce Willis) about his retirement . The aging detective is assigned the last mission , transporting sixteen blocks away a foul-mouthed delinquent , from the precinct until the court . He is aware that the African-American young named Eddie Buken (Mos Def) is allegedly to testify against NYPD agents . He made a covenant with the D.A. office for identifying corrupt detectives at courthouse . Meantime , along the way , they’re attacked by vicious gunfighters and pursued by all N.Y.C policemen and they find themselves under siege into a bus and surrounded by the SWAT . Then , they team up to flee , trying to get out towards the trial building .

The movie displays suspense , action ,thriller and is very entertaining . The film’s writer, Richard Wenk, has reported that he originally conceived of the project with himself as writer and director and, before shopping it around to anyone else, first approached Richard Donner because they had a struck up a good relationship when Donner really liked his rewrite of a script for Lethal weapon 4 (1998) , even though that script was not used . It’s a special buddy movie between a dreary , boozy cop magnificently played by Bruce Willis and a fast-talking prisoner well acted by Mos Def , detaching an agreeable chemistry . Although the film is principally interpreted by two main actors also contains exceptional performances by its entire secondary cast , especially by David Morse and Jenna Stern . Living musical score adjusted appropriately to the action by Klaus Badelt and adequate cinematography by Glen McPherson . The movie produced by Milennium (Trevor Short ,Boaz Davidson , Danny Lerner) usually producers of low-medium budget but here was lavishly filmed . The motion picture was professionally directed by the veteran Richard Donner . He’s an action cinema specialist with numerous titles (Assassin , Conspiracy theory , Timeline , Lethal Weapon I..). Rating : Better than average . It’s a must see for Bruce Willis fans in spite of his characterization as an old man .

‘People change, Jack, people can change’
A surprisingly good little thriller, 16 BLOCKS provides a tight, minimalist script, fine directing, excellent camera work, and standout performances by Bruce Willis, Mos Def, and David Morse. It is enough of a twist on the usual cop chase films to make it fresh, exciting, intelligent and touching.

Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) is an old drunk, a cop with NYPD who is given only minimal duties because everyone knows he has a problem (and why then aren’t they doing something about it…?). He is assigned to escort a prisoner, petty criminal loquacious Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) from his cell to the courthouse 16 blocks away where he is to testify against some bad cops. Little does Mosley know it is a setup and very soon it is apparent that the bad cops headed by his old partner Frank (David Morse) are out to kill Eddie so that he can’t testify against them. Jack and Eddie have a face-off in a bar where Jack has a conscience change and decides to go against his fellow bad cops and get Eddie to the courthouse. It is the getting there, involving hiding, running, commandeering a bus, etc that creates the bulk of the film.

But as much as the action portion of the thriller is satisfying, the feature of this film is the extraordinary gradual development of change in the character of Jack and of Eddie as they both, as ‘outsiders’ doomed to careers that seem dead ends, interrelate, bond and change. Both Willis and Def give superb performances and the film is well worth watching to just see these fine actors in parts that give them room to demonstrate their considerable skills. Richard Donner paces his film well and there is not a dead moment in the movie. The cinematography by Glen MacPherson and the musical score by Klaus Badelt as well as the fine supporting cast make this a polished work. There is an alternate ending (originally shot to be the first choice ending!) that makes the film take a different slant, but the film as it stands is a fine one. Grady Harp
