One Tends To Forget That Willis Can Act
"16 Blocks" is one of Bruce Willis' greatest movies since "Die Hard." I just
watched it recently and I enjoyed it completely. Bruce plays Jack Mose ly, a
hard on his lock NYPD detective who will tie one on at a drop of a hat. First
of all, Bruce looks so different in this role. I barely recognized him. He
gained weight and his hair was gray and he wore glasses and just looked
generally disheveled and harried. Bruce played this role precisely because
his character was so believable, yet he was also against type and did
exactly the opposite of what one would expect at first. Mos Def was
excellent as the prisoner gone good, Eddie Bunker. I really enjoy "1 6
Blocks" because unlike just about every other action movie (I've seen them
all) this one really causes the viewer to think outside the box. It's not just a
story of good verses evil. Instead, it's a complex and intricate yarn that
goes way past the point of no return. Instead of using his trademark action-
packed moves that made John McClane a household name, Bruce relies
heavily on his dramatic skills to give his character a beating heart. I
especially enjoyed the part when Jack and Eddie were hiding behi nd the
wall as Jack talked to Frank Nugent (played exceptionally by David
Morse). Because we really to see what made both of these men tick and at
least this viewer, got a view of evil and a view of blatant corruption that
rarely gets depicted in such star k honesty and realism. Anyone who likes
Bruce should see this movie. Bruce Willis is a very underrated actor and
IMHO probably the very best of my generation.
