I have read the other reviews of this movie on eBay and although I agree with the points made in many of them, I think a number of the reviews miss a key point in the movie. Yes, it is an action movie and yes, it deals with a broken down cop who still has the stuff to get out of tough jams (including a bus chase) ... but more importantly, this movie is primarily about redemption. Mos Def and Bruce Willis both give outstanding performances as "wounded and crippled" human beings with a lot of baggage. Still the resonant theme as voiced by Def's character, Eddy, is that "people can change". The central tapestry of the movie centers around the relationship between broken down cop, Jack Mosley (Willis) and petty criminal, Eddy (Def)and how the two of them help the other to overcome the emotional and behavioral baggage that they each must confront. This is an action-packed movie, but it is not your typical action movie that titillates with a lot of action, blood, gore and violence. It has a deeper, more thought-provoking aspect to it, especially if you pay attention to the interchanges between the lead characters. I loved this movie and the hopeful message that it conveys that, in fact, "people can change". I saw this movie in the movie theater and immediately knew that I wanted to add it to my collection. If you are interested in an action-packed movie with human dimension and human redemption ... then buy this DVD.Read full review
I was looking for a movie that I haven’t seen yet with Bruce Willis in it. I did a search and “16 Blocks” was in the search and I have never heard about it. I did a little bit of reading about it and found it to be something I may like. Not only did I watch it but my boss watched it too. He liked it so well he bought his own copy of it for his own collection. I guess that kind of says it all. I found it to be like the movie the Gauntlet with Clint Eastwood in 1977 - because of the bus. It will make you sit on the edge of your seat and ask yourself over and over, how in the world is he going to get out of this one. As a New York City policeman that is getting close to his retirement years is sent out on a last minute drop off before he goes home after a 12 hour night shift job. All he has to do is take a prisoner 16 blocks and drop him off at court before 10 AM. This is a setup and he walks in to it blindfolded. All of his years of experience on the force kicks in and shows that this old horse is what he used to be. Highly recommended and it is family orientated. It does have violence. There isn’t as much blood and gore as Bruce’s movies. The language isn’t as rough as most of his movies either. But the action, suspense and one you won’t figure out what happens next. It is a little slow taking off but that doesn’t last too long. I recommend you wear depends watching this one. NPRL_LoneWolfRead full review
16 Blocks is a Spectacular Bruce Willis Movie!!! Corrupt cops, Gun fights, Mos Def, a deadline and Bruce Willis. These are just some of the things that make 16 Blocks great. Mos Def is absolutely spectacular, and Bruce Willis is his normal self, a deadbeat cop. 16 Blocks features enough suspense and action to keep everybody happy. It also features 2 great endings. 16 Blocks is simply amazing. Bruce Willis does it again. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: Buy. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
Great movie please clear and the DVD is on good condition.
