Willis plays what he does best An aging, washed up cop A witness has to go to court He's asked to make the drop Just 16 blocks, that's all it is A fifteen minute task Just get him there and then you're done Is that too much to ask? The witness is a chatty sort He never takes a breath He doesn't know his singing voice Has got him marked for death The witness has to testify against some boys in blue who need some swift damage control or else careers are through Though crooked cops are everywhere They still must watch the clock Then only have 'til ten o'clock To get him to the dock Wild shoot outs through Chinatown a city bus goes speeding Bullets flying everywhere And lots of people bleeding One ending wasn't good enough The DVD has two The underlying moral shows People can change - and do!Read full review
16 Blocks stars Bruce Willis as an aging alcoholic cop who is responsible for transporting a key prosecution witness (Mos Def) the 16 blocks across town to the city courthouse. However this is no ordinary witness and this is no ordinary ride across town. The witness has turned states evidence and his testimony will result in the uncovering of police corruption which will go right to the heart of the force. The only thing standing in the way of the dirty cops getting to the witness is a broken down boozing cop who is over come with responsibility when his last shred of pride comes to the surface as he gets to know his infectious would be partner. 16 Blocks is the typical Willis format, but would we have it any other way? Indeed he slips quite easily into his character and delivers quite a good performance. However it is not all about guns and explosions and as it goes along there is quite a bit of depth added to the movie but it always just lacks that 'something' to move it on to the next level. Overall the movie isn't a total disappointment or an over whelming success. The only problem is when the action does kick in and the one liners are delivered you know you have heard or seen it somewhere else before, only it was better the last time.Read full review
