16 Blocks

Bruce: “Excuse me, do you know the way to Die Hard Street?”

16 Blocks

From Imdb.com

((Bruce Willis plays Jack Mosley, a burnt-out detective assigned the unenviable task of transporting a fast-talking convict (Mos Def) from jail to a courthouse 16 blocks away. However, along the way he learns that the man is supposed to testify against Mosley's colleagues, and the entire NYPD wants him dead. Mosley must choose between loyalty to his colleagues and protecting the witness, and never has such a short distance seemed so long...))

While not a great movie, the movie isn’t that bad either. There are many problems with the story and some of the acting choices by Mos Def are annoying. The action sequences were pretty well constructed and exciting, for the most part. Then again, you have to remember Richard Donner directed this movie. (The Lethal Weapon series, Superman.) This movie is a step up from his last movie Timeline, but he’s still not up to his The Goonies standards (that didn’t sound right).

Grade C-
