In 16 Blocks, Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) is an alcoholic, weary, and burned out NYPD cop, who is assigned one last job before he can punch out, to pick up a petty thief Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) and transport him 16 blocks to the courthouse where he will testify before the Grand Jury.

Soon they find themselves under fire, becoming the target of those who want to keep Bunker from testifying. Escaping the initial attack, Mosley calls for backup but discovers that corrupt police officers, including his ex-partner Frank Nugent (David Morse), want Bunker dead. With only 118 minutes to get the witness to the courthouse before the case will be thrown out, Mosley manoeuvrers Bunker through the crowded, confined streets of Manhattans Chinatown, towards their destination, trying to avoid the police officers who are hunting them down

16 Blocks is OK, but it doesn't see Willis back to his old Die Hard form! Its not a bad film, but sadly nothing to get excited about either. I found Mos Defs voice very irritating too!
