16 BLOCKS




Action thriller

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Bruce Willis: NYPD Detective Jack Mosley
Mos Def: Eddie Bunker, a small-time crook
David Morse: Jack’s long-time partner Frank Nugent

REVIEW
The movie is very entertaining but a tad too long. Some crisp editing would fix that. The acting is excellent and the action pretty furious once it gets going.

CLASSIFICATION
for violence, intense sequences of action, and some strong language.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
Jack is holed up with Eddie in a bar and gets on the walkie-talkie and says “10-13 here”. That is a request for weather and road conditions. What he should have said was “10-24” in order to get police backup.
