16 blocks

Bruce Willis looks fabulously down and out as an alcoholic cop; Mos Def is fresh and funny as a key witness/criminal/aspiring baker. together they carry this real-time thriller about corrupt cops in Manhattan. the story is refreshingly simple and there is just enough character development to raise this Richard Donner-directed effort slightly above a formula piece.
