i love how people use these websites to pretend being real movie critics... "16 BLOCKS IS HEART-POUNDING!!!"... i mean common.. who are you kidding... lol nevertheless its entertaining... you guys kill me :D
Great movie. Great action. Great twists. Great everything. Go see it.NOW!!!BB
i thought i had seen every version of the "cop action/thriller" from classics like "touch of evil", "serpico" and "dog day afternoon" all the way to "die hard", "lethal weapon", "traffic", and "phone booth". i was wrong. "16 blocks" seems to take elements of the greatest thrillers before it and rearrange them into a brand new film. but don`t get me wrong - there is no recycling here. "16 blocks" is not only fresh and a welcome addition to the genre, it is entertaining, funny, heartwarming and actually has a thematic "raison d`etre" - that we are all capable of redemption. i would highly recommend the film and look forward to its continue
I was surprised by how good this movie was. Good plot twists, decent acting and a surprise ending that wasn`t predictable.
Richard Donner`s grown a bit as a director. Premise isn`t original (Clint Eastwood`s "The Gauntlet" had a similar premise, minus the "real-time" gimmick) but he creates a great gritty look for the film, and his scene in the bar near the beginning is probably one of the better sequences he`s created, and I liked his quiet moments, as they were more manacing than the action sequences. Unfortunately the movie gets sort of carried away in the last half and loses its grounding. Still worth checking out, though.
Great action, great acting, but I dould hardly understand a word MoseDef said. Does he always talk that way!!!
This movie is the best movie i have ever SEEN.
A lot of twists in the movie....I like it...
16 Blocks was a great action packed thriller! It was Bruce Willises best film, and it was Richard Donner at his best!
I would rather shoot oxygen into my heart than see this again.
