16 Blocks (Widescreen Edition) description
Fully recovering from the wretched flop Timeline, director Richard Donner brings seasoned skill to 16 Blocks, a satisfying thriller boosted by intelligent plotting and the stellar pairing of Bruce Willis and Mos Def in quirky, well-written roles.

A high-stakes race across town

| Though it doesn't feature a big terrorist/caper plot, "16 Blocks" in flavor and tone is not unlike Mr. Willis' entertaining "Die Hard" movies: there's tension, suspense, big action moments, and a personal issue or two thrown into the mix. On that last point, the personal issue here is the Willis character's sudden willingness to wake up and do something about all the corruption around him after years of looking the other way, and the repurcussions of this new commitment to do the right thing. One quibble: the various characters (good and bad) talk a bit too much about Willis' newfound conscience when it would have been more elegant to just let us see it in action without all the chatter about it. But, again, that's just a quibble. Overall, "16 Blocks" is a satisfying, solid piece of late-career work by director Richard Donner ("Superman" and the "Lethal Weapon" films). Extras are few but satisfying: a collection of deleted scenes introduced and narrated by Mr. Donner and his screenwriter; an alternate ending (interesting but not as good as the movie's actual ending, where David Morse's corrupt cop character stays corrupt instead of inexplicably developing a conscious during the movie's last minute or so); and a trailer. The DVD features a sharp widescreen image and good sound. |
