While watching 16 blocks, I remarked at how old Bruce Willis looked. I pegged him for being in his early 40s, which is why I was shocked by his appearance. Come to find out, the guy is 51. WOW. I had no idea. BTW, the movie would have fared a WHOLE lot better had the black character been played by someone else. My god, Mos Def can't act. Or, perhaps, his depiction was just annoying.

just because i agree with you so much on Mos Defs' characters' accent, will i bump this thread. god, it was ****ing awful.

Mos can act his ass off. Its just...the character in this one, coupled with his voice, was highly annoying. He doesn't sound like that when he raps (Thank goodness for that).

Mos Def's character = the most annoying character in cinema history

Mos Def in 16 Blocks = the black Capote?

That whole cake sidestory was the dumbest thing I've ever seen as well.

There were times when I wished Bruce Willis' character would just have left him to die.

I saw the following art for 16 Blocks the other day and I couldn't help thinking that he looks like Oldman Snake from MGS4 on it.

His character is supposed to be very ragged, thus he looks really old in the movie. Watch Lucky Number Slevin, he looks way younger (or less old..) in that one.

And because that movie kicks ass. At the very least, it's a ****ton better than 16 Blocks.

Bruce was wearing "old" makeup in 16 blocks.

Bruce is ONLY 51? I'm surprised.. i thought he was psuhing 60...like most of the old Hollywood action stars.

Yeah, that got me too. I figured he was like 55.
