16 blocks
verdict: skip it!
mosdef stole the show in this 'bad cop has a heart' story. bruce willis needs to start acting or stop showing up in movies. because he's just taking up 'reel estate'. atleast that's how you'll feel when you watch '16 blocks'.
the story doesnt have shades and neither do the characters (except mosdef playing eddie bunker). david morse has done a splendid job as usual. bruce willis is old and bored (and incidentally portrays an old and bored guy!).
you would expect a fast paced thriller given the storyline. you would expect the chase scenes to be gripping. you would expect the hostage situation on the bus to be exciting. you would expect all this. but you wont get it. thats '16 blocks' for you.
