- marshalseaMay 4, 2026Solid hostage protection film - Bruce Willis is still Bruce Willis here and it really shows the talent dementia has robbed the world. Charismatic even in this role where he's definitely not the a likeable person. Solid support as always from David Morse, and others. Well worth the time.
- Christopher WeedApril 25, 2026Solid action cat and mouse thriller. Final film for Richard Donner and one of the last for Bruce Willis. Great pairing.
- PhysicalMedia4LifeApril 13, 2026Apart from "A Good To DieHard" you can never go wrong with a Bruce Willis action flick...even though "16 Blocks" is nowhere near the levels & quality of his best ever action films but that's a very tall order to be fair. However this is still a solid, decent & entertaining action thriller, that's got a good pacing to it...I liked it and I would watch it again and recommend it to people that haven't seen it before a 💯
- zap742December 27, 2025Even watching in Dec2025, still gets you glued to the screen right to the end!! Many scenes left me wondering how going to get out of this spot? The small holes in some scenes still makes it a def recommended for the gripping story line, and twist at the end that never saw coming!
