"16 Blocks" is a character-driven action thriller that stars Bruce Willis as Jack Mosley, a broken down NY detective assigned to escort a petty criminal (Mos Def) from the precinct to the courthouse.

It's the story of how two men change each other during a tense 110-minute struggle between life and death. Read more

Movie Review

Grade: C+ Bruce Willis has no less than eight films slated for release in 2006, although that includes the long delayed and much rumored "Die Hard 4," which will probably end up coming out in 2007.
