A little long, but good
Added 10/20/2009
This is a good story, but it's about a half hour longer than it needed to be. Bruce, David and Mos Def played their roles well.

A Better Bruce Willis
Added 9/7/2009
16 Blocks could possibly be Bruce Willis' best movie. It's certainly his best effort at character acting, at least until the last few scenes. He plays an aging, alcoholic, off the books cop whose job is to take a witness to the court house to testify against cops. Mos Def plays the witness, and he's actually very, very good. Bruce Willis does very well at playing a drunken cop. Maybe he's had some practice?
The movie picks up steam when Willis has to shoot an assassin who is about to off his witness. From there, it's a roller coaster ride that is fairly believable, and definitely fun, until about the last ten minutes, then things take a slide. But what the hey, it's a fun movie. In fact, it's the best Bruce Willis I've seen since the original Die Hard. Another surprise is David Morse, who plays Willis' ex-partner. Morse's character is a corrupt cop who is in on a murder and is trying to stop Mos Def from testifying against him and Bruce Willis, as well as some other cops.
On one hand, 16 Blocks is just another movie about corrupt NYC cops, on the other hand it is a reasonably good character study about a drunken cop who can realize the merits of justice when he sees it, even if he is plastered.

C+ movie at best
Added 7/27/2009
Not the best Bruce Willis film but a solid movie to say the least although I wish Mos Def's character didn't have to talk so much. All in All I would say its a rental at best.

A tad unrealistic
Added 7/20/2009
Ok so the plot here is that a bunch of dirty cops are trying to kill Mos Def before he can testify against them at a grand jury? And tired alky Bruce Willis,a dirty cop himself, suddenly decides to go straight and get the ex-con to the courtroom some 16 hairy NYC blocks away. The problem is all this shooting and chasing could not happen in Manhattan without someone calling the media. And all Bruce had to do, if he was serious, was call the media himself and he'd have been protected enough to walk Mos Def into court. Even when a bus gets hijacked, there are no TV helicopters around. Haha. Not likely. Still, Mos Def displays some acting chops here, even if it is as a stereotypical criminal. A good watch if you can suspend disbelief for 90 mins.
