Review of 16 Blocks (2006) by Robert C — 11 Oct 2008
Mos Def... man did his voice do my head in this movie? Its like he was on helium before each take! And he manages to create a character so annoying, so one dimensional... a carrot would have had more emotional depth.
Oh and I know Bruce is meant to be looking kinda rough and tired in this movie... but I'm guessing that he's looking that way from reading the script alone... but if you also add that to the fact that this film's pace is prettynon-existent.
.. and then generally being a movie with Mos Def... then i'm guessing iMr Willis' "buggered look" came naturally. The flick had some good points... but like nearly all Donner's movies: what had so much potential.
.. ends up going nowhere with a cheesy tacked on ending. Predictable plot. A few shoot-outs... one really good one! Hardly any swearing... and no UMPH factor make this different to your typical "run of the mill" type "guy movie.
" At the end of the day its highly forgettable and really nothing special.Ugh!!!
