Bruce Willis hits the mark as Jack Mosley, a broken-down New York City police detective assigned to escort a petty criminal from the precinct to the courthouse. The seemingly simple 16-Block journey becomes a test of character for them when Jack's ex-partners attempt to stop them. It's the gripping story of how two men change .. Read more

  As always, Bruce Willis doesn't disappoint!. He has played cops before, and this starts out like another day at the office. But Mos Def who plays the petty ... read more »

  Shades of 'The Gauntlet'.....
  
  A surprisingly low-key and morose affair from Richard Donner. 16 Blocks has the potential but fails to deliver. Bruce Willis plays a burnt-out cop sent to do a ... read more »

  An aging policeman is asked to take a prisoner 16 blocks to the courthouse. 100 metres down the road and the action begins already as he has to take on his own ... read more »

  Average film
  
  Bruce Willis gives it a good shot. Mos Def is so bad it seems impossible. Ludicrous plot, obvious twists, and surprisingly flat action scenes.

  Felt like I had ran 16 blocks
  
  A good cop has to protect a prisoner/witness from other cops who are out to kill him. This is a normal run of the mill good cop movie. Nothing really amazing ... read more »

A lame leg and a love affair with alcohol make him a virtual joke at the NYPD. Tired and ready to head home, Mosley is assigned one last job ...
