16 Blocks
Boozy and world-weary, NYPD Detective Jack Mosley draws a routine assignment to transport trial witness Eddie Bunker to the courthouse 16 blocks away by 10 a.m. There are, however, chaotic forces at work that prevent them from making it in one piece.

There's a fine line between old-fashioned and cliched.

Hiding among all the uniforms and bullets, it turns out, is an actors' movie, and two actors more than capable of hitting their marks.

A happier surprise is the smart work of director Richard Donner: 16 Blocks is all jumble and jangle-crowds, snarled traffic, and discordant car horns.

Told in nearly real-time 16 Blocks stops and starts, putting in buffers for decent character moments between Jack and Eddie. It's necessary to understand why they do what they do, but it makes what they're doing occasionally dull.

Willis and Def -- funny even if he overdoes the whiny shrieking -- are a terrific team.

16 Blocks is a good watch thanks to the performances of Bruce Willis and Mos Def.

Another urban action thriller that's better than some, worse than most and so forgettable that it's possible to forget it while watching it.

B-movie done with shrewd aplomb

I thought this film is one long corny cliché.

At its heart, this is actually an excellent film. But, as filmmakers seek to escalate the big action, believability suffers severely.

It's a satisfying piece of genre filmmaking and an underrated American crime story...

Clunky, solid, enjoyable.
