Fully recovering from the wretched flop Timeline, director Richard Donner brings seasoned skill to 16 Blocks, a satisfying thriller boosted by intelligent plotting and the stellar pairing of Bruce Willis and Mos Def in quirky, well-written roles. Making the most of minimal dialogue, Willis plays Jack Mosley, a boozy, disillusioned New York City detective who reluctantly accepts an assignment to transport squeaky-voiced chatterbox Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) to a grand jury hearing where he's scheduled to testify against a group of corrupt, drug-dealing cops.

Mick and Sue continue where they left off in "Crocodile Dundee." New York gangsters are pursuing Sue, so for her safety, Mick takes her back to "Oz." When the gangsters follow them, Mick demonstrates his outback skills once more. Hogan's natural charm keeps the movie afloat and easy to stick with.
