16 BLOCKS(2006)
(See sets: Willis, Bruce 4 Film Favorites)

Bruce Willis(almost unrecognizable) as a straight cop with a
"squeeler", trying to get him to a Grand Jury hearing. Very good
movie! B+

From Amazon.com:

Fully recovering from the wretched flop Timeline, director Richard
Donner brings seasoned skill to 16 Blocks, a satisfying thriller
boosted by intelligent plotting and the stellar pairing of Bruce
Willis and Mos Def in quirky, well-written roles. Making the most
of minimal dialogue, Willis plays Jack Mosley, a boozy, disillusioned
New York City detective who reluctantly accepts an assignment to
transport squeaky-voiced chatterbox Eddie Bunker (Mos Def)
to a grand jury hearing where he's scheduled to testify against
a group of corrupt, drug-dealing cops. They've got two hours to
travel 16 blocks, but the dirtiest cop (David Morse) is determined
to kill Eddie before he can testify; what he doesn't know is that
Jack senses something in Eddie's seemingly innocent, optimistic
demeanor that he wants to protect. Working from a tight, twisting
screenplay by Richard Wenk, Donner turns familiar material into
an efficient potboiler that delivers tense urban action (like Donner's
earlier Mel Gibson hit Conspiracy Theory) while leaving plenty of
room for Willis and especially Mos Def (in a critically acclaimed
performance) to develop their flawed yet admirable characters.
16 Blocks may be a standard-issue thriller in many respects, but
as a showcase for its appealing cast, it quickly rises above its generic
limitations. --Jeff Shannon
