I'd give the show 2.5 out of 4 stars, or a B. Like I said, I liked the theatrical ending better. Bunker's voice is heard as she sobs over the letter and looks at the included pics of Eddie & Jack's Custom Cakes. It's the recorder playing back their "conversation downstairs." Torres is being held back, Nugent is being cuffed and they pull a jacket over Mosley's face (yup, he's dead).Ĭut to the scene of the cake being delivered and his sister opening the cake, but we see the inside of the box and a cake with road signs all over it and the words "People Can Change". Nugent get's up, but Mosley isn't moving, but there's a voice coming from his pocket. but he's talking, Torres breaks through the crowd and fires at Mosley, just as Nugent just infront of the bullet taking it in the shoulder, but causing him and Mosley to tumble down a stairwell. He gives the same spiel as in the theatrical version (I let him go, I'll take his place, I can give you names, dates, yada-yada). Despite strong performances from Bruce Willis and Mos Def, 16 Blocks is a shopworn entry in the buddy-action genre. Quick cut to Mosley exiting the elevator and immediately being surrounded by cops telling him to put his hands up. Looper celebrates its 10th anniversary, as The Fifth Element turns 25 Where there’s a Willis, there’s a way.
Overall, not your average "unlikely" buddy formula movie, and though it gets a little predictable towards the end, it's still a decent matinee, and I was surprised at the smattering of applause my audience gave to the film at its conclusion.Īfter Mosley's and Nugent's exchange in the basement of the court house, Mosley's gets in the elevator and Nugent calls Torres and tells him that its over, that they lost and are giving up. Eddie's testimony is very important to the case that involves cops, and this has more cops chasing down Jack and Eddie through the street of New York City because Eddie's testimony could send some cops to jail for their actions. It's almost a 2 hour film in real time on the screen, which lent a bit of tension to the deadline set within the film.īruce Willis is an older, paunchier cop named Jack Mosely who gets tasked with taking a witness, Eddie (Mos Def) 16 blocks to the courthouse in about 2 hours. What I noticed afterwards after the film was how unseen Donner's hand was in telling the story, because it's told very straight forward, but very assuredly. Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2019. I mainly saw this film due to Richard Donner directing it. 16 Blocks, starring Bruce Willis and Mos Def, is an exciting story about an alcoholic detective bringing an endangered witness to court - pursued by a group of criminal cops.
