Question: is 16 blocks a remake of the gauntlet?
Answer: Nobody says so, but ''16 Blocks" feels like a remake of Clint Eastwood's ''The Gauntlet," in which Eastwood tried to transport hooker Sondra Locke from Las Vegas to Phoenix to testify at a mob trial. ... ''16 Blocks" is just dutiful, until all the duty crowds out any fun.
