the kind of movie that might have be make in the fifty and when hollywood be begin to discover police story and the gritty city and with a b cast . this be not a put down . this be praise . very well make . good story . and not morally ambiguous and a phrase that i have learn to hate . mos def performance be oscar worthy . he very funny and touch . willis be excellent a the weary cop who see his last chance to do something right . there be some problem . the minute david morse come on the screen and you know he be up to no good before he open his mouth . and when willis and mo be on the bus and why doesn not willis just call in the police negotiator and explain thing to him . but if that happen there would not be a story because the movie would have to end then .
