'16 Blocks' could have been the grown up sequal to 'Mercury... more info

  "16 Blocks" is an excellent good cop-bad cop-thriller: briskly paced, with an intelligent script, impressive performances by Bruce Willis, Mos Def and David Morse, intense big-city atmosphere and superb direction and production.
