* BittersweetEnding: The ending that was originally filmed before the RevisedEnding took its place: [[spoiler:Nugent has a HeelFaceTurn and tries to call off the hit on Jack--only for Torres to ignore or not hear him and Nugent attempts to save Jack only to fail when Torres shoots and kills Jack. The recording still plays though, meaning that Jack stil brings the corrupt cops down with him. Sometime later, Eddie--having reunited with his sister and opened the bakery--sends Diane a cake he meant for Jack. He reveals in narration that he'd not heard about Jack right away, but still expresses gratitude for what eh did for him.]] The theatrical one is an outright happy ending: [[spoiler:Nugent orders Jack killed, but a police sniper takes Torres out before he can do it. The recordng plays and Jack testifies successfully. The movie then ends with Jack celebrating his birthday some time later after getting out of prison--with Diane and friends, discovering the cake was made by Eddie at his new bakery and reading his letter while looking at the pictures he sent.]]

It's only sixteen blocks, but there's a lot of traffic, the witness doesn't trust the police, and the people he's supposed to testify against want him dead...
