16 Blocks
It’s “Law and Order” meets “The Gauntlet” meets “Speed”. Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) is a burnt out NYPD cop who seems to know every liquor store and bar along the 16 blocks he must safely transport key witness Eddie Bunker (Mos Def). However, some cops don’t want Eddie to testify. It’s a classic odd couple/buddy/cop on the run with the clock ticking story. It's predictable, but it’s still fun to watch. Don’t think, just sit back and enjoy. Jack is no “die hard” John McClane. Eddie is a colorful, whiney voiced character who never seems to stop talking, but he’s lovable.
Alien gives it 3 “birthday cake” stars out of 4.
