Fate connects these two completely different people together. Eddie needs to be escorted from the police detention room to a court 16 blocks away for trial. This extremely simple task was handed over to the drunken old Jack by the police station. The drive from the police station to the court is only fifteen minutes, and the only unbearable thing seems to be Eddie's constant swearing.
However, the two did not go far. Just when Jack walked into the convenience store, a gunman appeared and wanted to put Eddie to death. Jack rushed back and shot him to death. He hurriedly summoned him for many years. Frank (David Moss), another detective, came for reinforcements. The
subsequent journey became more treacherous. What seemed to be trivial work became an important task to test the personality, because Jack found that no one wanted them to be able to Arriving at the court smoothly, in the center of New York, the killer lays in ambush everywhere, and plainclothes police are tracking along the way. Jack finds that he is in a desperate situation, and he can't tell the identity of the enemy and the enemy, because both the offensive and the defender are both police forces.
When a child's life is in charge. In his own hands, Jack suddenly realized the meaning of life. Although the scars of the past flashed again and again, and his partner became a fighting opponent, Jack firmly met the challenges again and again, vowing to kill the blood in successive crises. , To complete this difficult journey in reality and psychology.
I don't want to talk about the development of the film. There is nothing unexpected, but one of the scenes is still very exciting. Jack and Eddie got on a bus, and after the tires were blown by the chaser, they stopped and were surrounded by groups. Old Jack was very clever to make the police outside think that he was taking hostages, and then he released all the people in the car including Eddie who escaped in the crowd. Jack knew that the police would soon know that he was the only one left in the car, and the commando would soon rush into the car and kill him. He picked up an interview machine that fell on the car and began to leave a last word...At this time, there was a loud voice outside the car, "Don'tshoot!...Don't shoot!" Eddie went and returned, while stopping The sniper shot while trying to get back to the bus. It turned out that Eddie was unwilling to save his life many times and the old Jack died unexplainably, and it was the shadow in his heart that made Jack never have the courage to face life. The two of them once discussed a topic, Jack believed that people cannot be changed, and that he was a bad person if he did bad things. Old Jack was convinced of this. Eddie returned to the bus. Jack was surprised that he had gone and returned. Eddie didn't care so much, he just shouted to Jack, "Chuck Berry and Barry White, they used to go to jail for robbery and theft, but they changed. You say people It won't change, but they have changed, and people can change." When I first saw it, I really couldn't figure it out. Who are Chuck Berry and Barry White? I searched on Google and found out that they are all famous black musicians in the early last century. They all committed crimes in their teenage years, but this did not affect their success. In the end, Jack strengthened his conviction under the influence of Eddie, leading Eddie to stand out. In order to protect Eddie, Jack asked him to find his sister he had never met in Seattle and open a coveted cake shop in Seattle, where he had always been yearning. Jack himself served as a taint witness instead of Eddie to testify against the police who broke the law-including Jack. Own.
The final ending is very happy. On Jack’s birthday, he blew out the birthday cake that Eddie sent him. It said "Chuck Berry, Barry White, Jack Mosley, Eddie Bunker, people can change." The final picture is Jack took the picture sent by Eddie and asked his sister to take a picture of him, and he laughed from ear to ear.
The film adheres to Willis's always personal heroism. This feature of his film is not as powerful as Superman and Spiderman, but a sense of justice as a petty citizen. He also had fear, fear and hesitation, but in the end he defeated all of this. He has always been said to be a blue-collar hero, but I think this kind of hero is even more popular because he appears real and easy to accept. In this film, we can see old Jack’s big belly, sparse hair, and inflexible legs, but it is the image of an old policeman that tells us that a sense of justice is a necessary quality for a hero.
"16th Block" seems to be a mixture of "Die Hard" and "Die Hard". It contains tense action lines, exquisite suspense design and a bustling urban background. The performance of the film is worthy of recognition and at the same time as a whole The potential weakness of the film, Moss "Dave's performance is also worthy of recognition, the character's chatter and the transformation after experiencing danger are all portrayed by him.
