Am I Missing Something?

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

When I saw Bruce Willis in the credits I thought this would be a great movie. He might be more involved but he wasn't. Only his name was there, not him. Big disappointment. Movie was good, a lot of OMG does this really happen? I suppose I expected more with Bruce Willis' name but he didn't deliver. Good movie, scary thoughts as to does this actually happen and if it does, people need to be a lot more careful and the people that are supposed to protect us, get with it people! This is beyond scary.

Cop Willis is assigned the task of escorting criminal Bey to court where he will testify against rogue cops, and the cops will do anything to silence him.A simple premise and hardly original but still potentially entertaining, but in this case - no. The plot is straight-forward and yet littered with implausible moments, even the 'twists' are obvious. As for the dialogue - after being gratuitously assaulted by Bey's unending excrutiating verbal diarrhoea, I started hoping the rogue cops would succeed - quickly. Anything to end this nightmare.

An aging alcoholic cop is assigned the task of escorting a witness from police custody to a courthouse 16 blocks away. There are, however, chaotic forces at work that prevent them from making it in one piece. Directed by Richard Donner the genious behind Superman, Lethal Weapon and Assassins this fast paced action drama elevates from Bruce Willis excellent dramatic perfomance but also Yasiin Bey who gives an excellent perfomance as a man who saw something that shouldnt have and along with that the excellent and talented David Morse as a dirty cop. The direction is excellent and some shots or scenes like the one where Jack kills the man who tried to kill Eddie or the scene with the Bus were heart pounding and with an amazing score in the background. Overall a well shot and well directed Drama, Crime, Action film. (A+)

The movie has a good mix of action and dialogue. The story is really good and original compared to a lot of movies in this genre. The plot is not too complicated but still has suspense throughout. Bruce Willis does these action films really well, I think its his screen presence. Mos Def has good chemistry with Bruce Willis, although he speaks just a bit too fast for me. There are humorous and also serious scenes which makes you feel for the characters and you sense a friendship forming. The villain also has quite a few lines and is well acted with strong emotion and adds to the impact of the story. If you want to watch a decent action movie after a long day in the office, this is it. It is currently rated 6.6 which I think is a bit harsh, probably 7.5 :)
