- 16 Blocks - (Bruce Willis, Mos Def)
Pretty good movie in my opinion, great story which reveals itself as the movie flows, then ties in near the end. Some nice action and a bit of a tear jerker right at the end (oohhhhwwww).
Detective Jack Mosley (Willis) is unwittingly given the task of transporting a petty crim (Def) 16 blocks to a courthouse hearing. A quick "roadie" stop at the local liquer store kicks this movie into action! This is where the story starts flowing. I don't want to give anything away so go see it, you won't be disappointed.
- Miami Vice - (Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx)
Another great action movie that for me was a little hard to follow in the beginning. It's all about drugs, undercover ops and Miami baby! This is the Exquisite Collection of movie scenery. Ferraris, mansions, high-tech gadgetry galore.
This Michael Mann movie is superb (Mann did Heat and Collateral, 2 awesome movies). It's not a run-of-the-mill action/cop/drama movie. There's lots of things going on that aren't expected which diversifies it from the rest. Ricardo Tubbs (Foxx) and Sonny Crockett (Farrell) are Miami's finest. They are called upon to go undercover after an informant goes bad. As they delve deeper, they are in new ground never before walked by a "Badge". Sonny then gets romantically involved which almost makes you forget who they really are as they appear to push the boundaries.
Again, don't want to give anything away, it's a great movie, 2 in one hit for me! This was one I was looking forward to seeing ever since it was released. It has a weird feeling to it through most parts as well. Certainly a different movie experience for me.
I'd like to hear what others think of these 2 as well.
