Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 4 16 Blocks is a decent action thriller from Millennium Films and Warner Bros. that does just enough to keep things engaging without ever fully standing out in a crowded genre. The premise is straightforward and the pacing works well enough to maintain interest throughout its runtime. There are moments of tension and solid character interactions that help carry the film, even when it leans on familiar action tropes. The performances are serviceable, with the lead doing most of the heavy lifting to keep the story grounded. It’s the kind of film that’s easy to watch, but not especially memorable once it’s over. Overall, 16 Blocks is a perfectly watchable crime thriller that delivers what it promises, but doesn’t go much further beyond that. A solid 6/10.

Bruce made his chops playing troubled characters - and here the director REALLY leaned in... "look worse, Bruce! Racoon eyes. More flop sweat!" Couldn't understand a word Mos Def was saying. I think he couldn't do an American accent, so he tried channeling Urkel. Had to turn on captions. Morse is a decent bad guy I guess, but the whole thing collapses under the weight of its ridiculously stupid and unbelievable plot and stupid ending. I mean, yeah Die Hard does some similar things, but this is a PAPER thin imitation of those movies with almost none of the suspense or character empathy.

Reading some audience reviews, they didn't like Mos Def's voice, but not knowing how he actually talks, it didn't bother me and seemed to suit the character. David Morse is excellent and it's a nice restrained performance by Bruce Willis. See more Read all reviews
