Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bob Longino "Action movie is worth watching only when Mos Def is onscreen." more... C+ Boston Globe Wesley Morris "...blandly goes where films have gone before." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "None of this is particularly new, but all of it is done well..." more... B   Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt "...it's not the predictable action but this lack of chemistry and camaraderie that sinks 16 Blocks..." more... C   E! Online "Even if you're not a die-hard action fan, you might wanna block out time for these 16." more... B   Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "...a thick, juicy steak of a crime-cop-conscience action thriller in the tasty tradition of Prince of the City..." more... B+ filmcritic.com Chris Barsanti "...a strange and weak buddy flick..." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden "Sentimentality undoes a lean actioner." more... C   New York Post Lou Lumenick "...arguably the most competently made and entertaining major studio release so far this year." more... B   New York Times Manohla Dargis "Until the creaky last act, Mr. Donner, whose loose shooting style intentionally (I think) creates a sense of near-vertigo, keeps them on the run -- us too." more... B- ReelViews James Berardinelli "Despite occasional bursts of suspense, the movie as a whole plays out as a long 95 minutes, with its lack of inventiveness leading us more frequently into tediousness than tension." more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...another urban action thriller that's better than some, worse than most..." more... C   Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker "The real-time countdown provides tension and momentum and the physical repercussions of each violent collision gives it a semblance of credibility." more... B- USA Today Claudia Puig "...a grudging buddy picture with the requisite chase scenes, two-handed shooting, gritty locations and predictable ending." more... C   * Yahoo!
