Leave your thoughts about 16 Blocks.
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyMos Def doesn't so much steal scenes as palm them away from the action around him to create an oasis of naturalism. |
| tonymedley.comTony MedleyExcept for the irritating, whiny accent adopted by Mos Def, this is a high-tempo, grandly-entertaining chase film with good character development by Bruce Willis. |
| Filmcritic.comChris BarsantiIt's like the cops say: Move along, nothing to see here. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaEm seus melhores momentos, lembra alguns dos filmes policiais mais cínicos dos anos 70; nos piores, parece os exemplares do gênero mais inofensivos e escapistas dos anos 90. |
| Supercala.comJohn VenableMos Def's channelling of Flava Flav is questionable, but entertaining...so is the film. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliIts dialogue is sassy, its plotting is taut (maybe too taut, as key segues are AWOL), but 16 Blocks has more on the brain than mere distraction. It aims to save souls. |
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. Kimmeltight and fast paced... the first decent action movie of 2006. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisMr. Willis has always been an acquired taste, but for those who did acquire that taste, riding shotgun on his good times and bad, it's a pleasure to see him doing what comes naturally. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightWhatever the initial motivation, Def's performance runs dangerously close to nudging our sympathies toward the bad guys. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldHiding among all the uniforms and bullets, it turns out, is an actors' movie, and two actors more than capable of hitting their marks. |
