    Intresting !

    I've Seen every bruce willis film that he has ever made or had a cameo apperence in and i can say that this is definately not the worst film bruce willis has ever starred in, lets not forget the period after die hard where bruce willis could have ended up as a b or c list celebrity if his career had not been revived by pulp fiction and then following up with twelve monkeys, remeber those terrible films where he tried to shed his die hard image, blind date,striking distance, hudson hawk. anyhow.....my review on the film.

    16 Blocks is a wonderful thrill ride with lots of action/suspense and mild comedy. Any Bruce Willis fan would love this like they did Hostage. Willis plays Jack Mosley, a drunk/hungover cop that seems to have lost his touch. He gets all the scrap jobs that no one wants and one of these jobs brings him straight to Mos Def who plays Eddie, a very hard to understand, very talkative guy who has apparently witnessed something and is due to testify at 10 sharp. It's about 2 hours until he has to be at the court house which is 16 blocks away and a hell of a lot of cops standing in the middle. Mosley doesn't entirely know what to believe, the kid or his ex partner of 20 years but he puts his faith into the kid and the thrill ride begins. Hands down the best dirty cop film I've seen in a while.

    He's still got it

    Yes peoples, bruce is still the ultimate action hero. OK, not too differant from most of the other action roles hes taken. i.e a rundown drunk with broken down personal life but what more do you want from him? The film is well writen, well acted & the film runs @ a good pace. If you like films like die hard then you'll love this.

    Over the Hedge: Bruce Willis interview

    • 04 Dec 2006

    When Bruce Willis walks into a room you know about it. His high-speed hyped Yankee tones precede his appearance. "How y'all doing?" he hollers, and then proceeds to continue a very one-sided conversation with himself."Well, wake up! It's a nice day, we're all gonna go outside in a little while, for cookies and ice cream…" One things for certain, when Willis talks, you listen (even if doesn't quite make sense at times). A pro to the last, the man knows how to work a room. He's impeccably... Read more
