16 Blocks (2006)
Moral of the story: Don't stop at the liquor store with only 12 more blocks to go.
Not particularly original - bad cops, good cop, mouthy witness - but I liked it. Bruce Willis is not the quintessential do-gooder in this flick, instead, he's a former cop-on-the-take-turned-alcoholic who is trying to prevent his former bad-cop partners from killing the witness to save their own skins. Frankly, it looks at times like Willis' character Jack Mosley, is trying to commit semi-slow suicide the odds are so stacked against him. So, it's a little contrived. So, it's pretty predictable. So, crime never pays. I still recommend it b/c it's an entertaining, solid movie that draws you in as far as it goes (which is about "that" far). Lots of shootings, people cuss some, but surprisingly it is only PG-13.
