16 Blocks

Just finished watching the film “16 Blocks”.
I thought Bruce Willis did a remarkable job.
Thoughts?

I remember it being mildly entertaining, but I don’t remember anything specific about it so it can’t have been that memorable. Was there a bus involved somehow?

You remember right, hogarth, a bus does come into it.

I thought Mos Def’s character was a hoot. Although he grows a bit less irritating later on, you spend at least the first half of the movie wishing the bad guys would just plug him already. :smiley:

Aye, Mos Def’s voice was making me want him dead. I have no idea why he (or anyone) thought that would be a good idea.

Other than that, I liked this film overall and thought Willis was very good in it.

It’s not a great film, but it is a good movie.

I wanted to slap Mos Def’s voice sideways at first. But it worked after a few scenes.
Mr. Willis started strong but evolved into typical at the end.
Kudos to Richard Donner and behind the lenses Glen MacPherson.
Enjoyable film. YMMV.

Yes. I was going to shoot him myself at the beginning. :smiley:

I guess it was done to put Bruce Willis under even more stress: the guy he was struggling to protect was also bugging the shit out of him.
