Majikat A film that starts out pretty good, but slows somewhat towards the end.

adonis98-743-186503 An aging alcoholic cop is assigned the task of escorting a witness from police custody to a courthouse 16 blocks away. There are, however, chaotic forces at work that prevent them from making it in one piece. Directed by Richard Donner the genious behind Superman, Lethal Weapon and Assassins this fast paced action drama elevates from Bruce Willis excellent dramatic perfomance but also Yasiin Bey who gives an excellent perfomance as a man who saw something that shouldnt have and along with that the excellent and talented David Morse as a dirty cop. The direction is excellent and some shots or scenes like the one where Jack kills the man who tried to kill Eddie or the scene with the Bus were heart pounding and with an amazing score in the background. Overall a well shot and well directed Drama, Crime, Action film. (A+)

Thomas Engels The idea for this movie is perfect for Willis: a guy who has all the odds against him rises to save the day. However, here the concept fails as the crew takes itself too seriously and overdoes virtually everything.The first thing that comes to mind is Willis' makeup. He looks like he's still wearing his Death Becomes Her makeup. He's just plain ugly, he looks way too old to still be holding a job and there is no strength hidden behind those features.Mos Def, who is also well cast, has dialogs pushed down his throat that must have made him wince. He can do so much better. Now he's just another whino. Very annoying.Overall, aside the casting and the idea for the movie, there is nothing to tell here. It's run-of-the-mill stuff and you have to squeeze out some enthusiasm to keep focused on the movie. Five minutes into the movie you know how it will end and not much later you know both the plot and the bad guys. With the uninspired execution the movie lands before properly taking off.

sumil43 The movie has a good mix of action and dialogue. The story is really good and original compared to a lot of movies in this genre. The plot is not too complicated but still has suspense throughout. Bruce Willis does these action films really well, I think its his screen presence. Mos Def has good chemistry with Bruce Willis, although he speaks just a bit too fast for me. There are humorous and also serious scenes which makes you feel for the characters and you sense a friendship forming. The villain also has quite a few lines and is well acted with strong emotion and adds to the impact of the story. If you want to watch a decent action movie after a long day in the office, this is it. It is currently rated 6.6 which I think is a bit harsh, probably 7.5 :)
