What worked: After the pile of flaming feces that was "Timeline" Richard Donner has stepped up to the plate again but this time stepping his game up and delivering arguably his best film since his "Lethal Weapon" series. The acting here is top-notch, Bruce Willis should get some credit for the amount of believability he brings as worn out, drunken cop (Jack Mosley) who is having a really long day and wants to rest, but before he can do that he has to take a witness (Eddie Bunker played by Mos Def) to court, 16 Blocks away in 2 hours but after an attempted murder of the witness fails. Jack's day goes completely awry as the people such as crooked cops who are willing to do anything to prevent Eddie from making it to court. Mos Def also shows he has screen presence as Eddie Bunker, he turns what most actors would have made an annoying character and turn him into a lovable yet questionable hustler. David Morse is great as usual as Frank Nugent, Jack old partner. The action scenes are completely character driven they are not there for sake of being there, rather the action scenes propel the story forward, and they are very tense yet realistic, An example is the bus scene, very tense.

What didn't work: They are some small plot-holes here and there but they don't ruin the experience of the movie. And some scenes do need a certain level of disbelief but only a few scenes. And Jack's motive for doing what he was doing is isn't properly solved. But these are rather small and they do not detract from the overall experience of the movie.

Overall: This is a great action thriller by Richard Donner, recommended 8/10

What worked: This game is absolutely stunning!!!The graphics are possibly the best on the Xbox giving Halo 2 a run for it's money, the environments are so detailed that almost every corner you'll be feeling dirty. The game play is great, the action is high energy and scary, every turn you'll feel as if some freak of nature is gonna jump at you. The monsters are incredibly detailed, the bosses will make u crap your pants.

What didn't work: This game can be a little hard especially with the boss battles and this game is too dark literally, why couldn't the flashlight be taped to the gun!?(I couldn't see jack!) and last but not least where is the four-player multiplayer(I don't mean system link or online gaming neither)I mean four controllers at once. But these are only minor problems.

Overall: This game is the scariest game on xbox, minus a few problems it is definitely a buy. Recommended 9/10

The acting in this film is decent Martin Henderson and Ice Cube do the best they can for their poorly written roles. The action is this film is in a word........Craaaaaazy! None of this stuff could ever happen but it is still exciting and blast to see on a big clear screen and a loud surround sound system. On the flip side the story in this movie is nothing new and makes the film more cliché' than it needs to be. And special effects in this movie are very crappy looking and a times it looks like a glamorized video game. I would recommend this movie if you're looking for a stupid,loud and fun time but if you're looking for Shakespeare look somewhere else. 6/10
