16 Blocks just screams straight to DVD but it actually proves to be a surprisingly enjoyable watch. Bruce Willis demonstrates his rarely seen acting skills as the tired underdog battling with his loyalties and morality alongside Mos Def, who despite his remarkably annoying voice, puts in a decent performance in the cliched role of an unjustly treated black con. A decent mix of action, smart twists and drama. Far from spectacular but a solid crime thriller.

Actually not a bad movie....I was a little cautious because I'm not a big Bruce Willis fan, but he does quite well. Fairly fast paced, with some moments of high tension. I enjoyed it. Good to see Bruce playing someone his own age........

Decent unofficial remake of The Gauntlet.

Mos Def annoys everyone watching in this dull, plodding adventure no one cares about.

The main actors put in a minimum amount of effort for roles that have a minimum amount of depth to them and the rest of the movie is like that. Everything about this is cliche as hell, it even ends with the old secret tape recorder trick. Almost offensive in how boring it is.

Typical action fare.

I really enjoyed this movie and have watched it a few times. Mos Def and Bruce work well together and I expected much less from Mos Def, so it was cool to see him actually play the part so well.
