Burnt-out New York cop Bruce Willis is given a routine job - escort witness Mos Def 16 blocks to the courthouse to testify

Burnt-out New York cop Bruce Willis is given a routine job - escort witness Mos Def 16 blocks to the courthouse to testify.

However, it soon becomes apparent that this is no simple task, because David Morse and his team of corrupt cops are after them and will stop at nothing to ensure they don't finish their journey…

Willis is on peak form and Def is also ideal as his whining sidekick in a brilliant, perfectly constructed thriller, which springs surprise upon surprise with intelligence and wit, right down to the last exciting minute.
