Bruce Willis is known for being a great action movie star. Richard Donner is known for being a great action director. The combination of these two should create great hype. I saw this the first day it was out and I guess it almost lived up to my expectations. Bruce Willis portrays Jack Mosley, a alcoholic cop who, after a long day of work, has to escort a prisoner to a trial for a testimony. Mos Def plays Eddie Bunker, the prisoner with a dream of becoming a baker. They have to go 16 blocks in a little bit over a hour. They encounter multiple attempts on Eddie's life, and Mosley begins to suspect other cops of this. 16 Blocks is an intense thrill ride with multiple twists. Great camera angles that create more suspense help you really understand what they are going through. David Morse did a great job playing the dirty cop. The only problem is that it has some parts that would make you laugh. This may take away the seriousness of the movie from some viewers. It can be corny and predictable at times, but 16 Blocks is a good flick and you should see it.

The best of them all

I was watching this movie for 2 and a half hours and never got bored. Spread the word. This is the best harry potter movie yet made. Mad Eye Moody was great. There were rarely any flaws, except for minor changes from the book to the movie. This is by far the best acting by the three stars and the rest of the cast. I do think Richard Harris is a better Dumbledore, but Michael Gambon is a pretty good back up. Hagrid is funny, but he is maybe not shown enough. BUT WHO CARES!!! Me and my friends adored this film. I am going back tomorrow. I think Newell is a great advancement in the directing field. I hope he stays on for the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince, and even number 7.
