By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 02 Mar 2006

One of the best things about the movie is that it gets its tension from what we know and don't know about the characters, not from bashing…

By Scott Foundas (913) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 02 Mar 2006

This is some of the best filmmaking ever done by director Richard Donner, a longtime Hollywood journeyman known more for his proficient deployment…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Jon Popick (633) for Planet Sick-Boy (616) on 02 Mar 2006

The film works better if you think of it as an extra-long mission from True Crime: New York City, only with better-looking cut-scenes and a…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 02 Mar 2006

The premise, which has been seen countless times before and done with far more style and flair, is terribly thin…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Michael Clawson (21) for West Valley View (21) on 02 Mar 2006

Rock music puts emphasis on the beat, jazz puts emphasis off the beat…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for Arizona Daily Star (983) on 02 Mar 2006

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Brett Buckalew (107) for FilmStew.com (638) on 01 Mar 2006

The results on a movie set can be great when Richard Donner yells 'Action!' But on this one, it feels more like, 'Lights, camera, ostentation…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 01 Mar 2006

A helluva lot happens in 16 Blocks - an outrageous amount, really, along with a coda that deposits the audience squarely at a movieland finale…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Chuck O'leary (376) for FulvueDrive-in.com (175) on 01 Mar 2006

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 01 Mar 2006

Idiotic, for sure, but what saves 16 Blocks is Richard Donner's slick direction and the occasional flash of humor you get in most Bruce Willis…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 01 Mar 2006

Basically an outdoor version of Assault on Precinct 13, but though it's...just a popcorn movie, it's an expertly crafted, enjoyable accompaniment…

Review of 16 Blocks (2006)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2006
