For those poor souls who still read this pathetic blog:

16 Blocks is a good action movie.  Bruce Willis and Mos Def manage to pull off a genre done so many times that almost all the twists have been done at least twice.  This film actually has plot, interest, and not to many  "yeah, right, like that ever really happens", which is rare.  There is some blood and some language, but all told pretty clean, and in the end it feels real, not contrived.
