16 Blocks Movie Review

Bruce Willis and Mos Def star in this capable enough movie. A very tired Jack Mosley, (Willis) has to transport a prisoner called Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) to the court to give evidence. What Def knows puts both of them in danger. But can they survive long enough to deliver the goods? After all the courthouse is only 16 blocks away, hence the movie title.

Solid performances from everyone, even though Mos Def adopts a whiney, nasal voice, which, even though we are used to hearing it from many Glasgow neds, does grate a little at times.The excellent David Morse, also appears as the bad guy/former partner of Willis.

Bruce looks very old in this movie, it's really quite amazing how a moustache can age a guy.
