Product Description

Review

16 Blocks showcases director Richard Donner and star Bruce Willis at their best, lending their old-fashioned Hollywood talent to a popcorn-movie thriller that offers enough texture and emotion to help it stand out from the pack. Richard Wenk's script offers a familiar thriller premise (and one that owes a few of its plot points to The Gauntlet) but he gives it a fresh spin through rich characterizations and snappy dialogue. Better yet, he and Donner use its New York locale as a character in and of itself. However, the two elements that truly hold 16 Blocks together are its two lead performances; Willismanages to hit the right blend of movie-star machismo and world-weariness as the aging cop hero and Mos Def is a loquacious delight as the small-time con determined to change his way of thinking . David Morse also lends find support as Willis' steely, deeply hypocritical nemesis. The end result might be a little too pat for some viewers, but 16 Blocks offers fine escapist fare to any viewer who wants a good, old fashioned Hollywood thriller. ~ Donald Guarisco, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars A Ton of action in just 16 Blocks!, Aug 10 2008

By	Robert Badgley (London,Ontario,Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

16 Blocks is an action packed thrill ride guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seats,from the beginning to the end.
It concerns the story of a washed up old cop named Jack Mosley(Bruce Willis).This is a beaten down man,with years of run of the mill details,with a career in stall and with a drinking problem.Just as Jack is about to book off after a long night at a baby sitting job at a crime scene,he is given a surprise detail.He is to take one witness ,Eddie Bunker(Mos Def),16 Blocks from the precinct to the courthouse,as the grand jury awaits his testimony.
Before he goes too far, Jack pulls his car up to a local liquor store to grab a picker-upper and some Advil.Unbeknownst to Jack and his charge,both have been followed from the get go by assassins out to kill Eddie.While Jack is busy inside an assassin comes up to the rear window asking Eddie to put down the window but a cuffed Eddie can't comply.He pulls out his gun and a shot rings out.Jack has, by chance,come out and seen what was happening and has killed the assassin.However a remaining assasin opens up on them and they both barely manage to escape.
They take refuge in a local bar Jack frequents and a call for back up goes in.Detectives arrive led by Frank Nugent played brilliantly and coldly by actor David Morse.All seems fine until we realize these cops are not the "marines" but the bad guys.We learn Eddie is to testify against said cops but they want Jack just to look the other way as they dispose of him.Before they can carry it out Jack intervenes and both he and Eddie are on the run from the bad cops and the rest of the NYPD.
Their escape attempts take them into some of the most seedy places of New York,both low and high,with the bad cops on their heels every step of the way.
The films keeps a relentless pace of tension throughout.Jack and Eddie get into some hair-raising and seemingly impossible escape situations and just barely manage to come out of them;and both receive gun shot wounds along the treacherous paths they must ineveitably follow.As the picture progresses more details of just how deep the corruption of the force is, are revealed.In the end we find out,to our surprise, that even Jack himself was deeply involved with the bad cops and that Eddies' testimony could have put him away with the rest.Jack had always looked the other way in the past,but seeing the mechanism of corruption up close and personal for the first time,it finally twigged his conscious and he couldn't ignore things any longer.
Before he reaches the courthouse with Eddie,and after a smart exchange between ambulances,he lets Eddie go.He decides he will take his place.Eddie is free and Jack carries on to the courthouse and gets his evidence to the grand jury just barely before the 10 O'Clock deadline.
This DVD is presented in the original theatrical version and also comes with a shot but never shown alternate ending.Both are great to have for comparisons sake,and both are equally compelling endings and make good fodder for discussion as to which is ultimately the more satisfying.
The DVD also presents you with deleted scenes all with commentary by Richard Donner and his director.
All in all this film is a VERY satisfying and tension filled thrill ride that shows you just how much excitment can be packed into a 16 Block radius,with the great talents of Willis,Def and Morse along to make it all happen as it should.
