Criminal Christmas # 25 – 16 Blocks

Posted on 25th December 2006 by Welshrogue in Criminal Christmas,Movies

A tired old cop is asked to escort a witness 16 blocks to a courtroom in just under 2 hours. Pretty simple until we find half the cops in New York trying to kill the witness and therefore the cop.

This isn’t an amazing movie but it certainly isn’t a waste of time either. Bruce Willis plays a cop who seems to have lost the desire for anything but booze. Mos Def plays the witness, a young man who saw too much and has big plans to change his life.

Its enjoyable but the only thing that really bugged me was Mos Def’s voice, which sounded a little too annoying (although it did grow on me). Why they didn’t let him use is normal voice I don’t know.

A good movie and a great way to spend a couple of hours!
