Is this a remake of Eastwood's The Gauntlet? The ads on tv certainly suggest this.
Ms. Z, maybe I was wrong about you. Any Salon-film-writing-person who praises Mos Def is all right. Liked him in Hitchhiker's Guide, loved him in Woodsman. Sounds like 16 Blocks is worth it just to see him (and Bruce wearing a real life cop mustache and short sleeved shirt!).
I remember groaning when I first saw Mos Def thinking another musician turned actor and how we'd have to suffer him until they stopped giving him work. The Italian Job cured me of that though, he was really great. Had me in stitches when he couldn't stop looking at that Samoian criminal when he had to ask him for explosives.
Regards
