An aging, lame and disillusioned cop; a not-really-bad, small-time criminal; and a very bad cop provide the ingredients. The bad cop wants the criminal dead, but the old cop won’t cross that line. It provides solid entertainment, as long as some weaknesses are forgiven.
Which weaknesses? The film’s title hints at them. The old cop has to get the criminal to court, 16 blocks away. The task is too easy, and it is made harder in convoluted, artificial ways. I was left wondering why they didn’t just run, or disguise themselves. I was less than satisfied by this film.
Rating: Good.
