16blocks.jpgPlot: In 16 blocks, Bruce Willis plays Jack Mosley, a burnt-out detective assigned the unenviable task of transporting a fast-talking convict (Mos Def) from jail to a courthouse 16 blocks away. However, along the way he learns that the man is supposed to testify against Mosley’s colleagues, and the entire NYPD wants him dead. Mosley must choose between loyalty to his colleagues and protecting the witness, and never has such a short distance seemed so long…

Review: Good to see Willis on the screen again. Very entertaining movie, with more then enough action. Very nice twist at the end, and some humor too.

Rating: 8.0/10

However, things go wrong and both friends must separate in the border. One of them, maintaining in his purpose of carry the attack to the end, and the other will have his doubts about it.

Review: Great movie, I love the tension that exists between the different characters and  the cganging views to life. And how the doubts shift. A shame it didn’t win the Oscars, and a shame that politics are still not put aside when they divide the oscars, in other words, it should have won, Great movie and worth watching.

Rate: 7.9/10
