16 Blocks (2006) – Rewatch

Burned-out NYPD cop Bruce Willis is assigned the thankless task of escorting Yasiin Bey to testify at a courthouse sixteen blocks away. Unfortunately there are some on the street who will do anything to prevent that from happening. It’s a mostly forgettable, clichéd film that feels a lot like it would belong in the Die Hard franchise if they had ever allowed John McClane to grow older and more jaded. I like checking out Bey’s acting roles and have never been disappointed by his work. The same holds true for David Morse who here is unsurprisingly one of Willis’s NYPD colleagues.
