12 Rounds 2009

Policeman Danny Fischer (WWE's John Cena) captures career criminal Miles, but Miles's sexy accomplish dies in the process, so a year passes and Danny (who's since been promoted to police detective) now has to play a deadly cat and mouse game with Miles who has broken out of prison and kidnapped Fischer's girl. Danny has to use all of his wits and action wiles to survive the criminal's deadly 12 rounds.

The acting in this movie is sub-par, but the action is pretty much non-stop when it gets going. So essentially what we're dealing with here is a bigger budgeted B-movie (with the B, in this case, standing for Brain-dead) If you can somehow check your brain at the door, you'll have some fun with this flick. It's certainly better than what Director Renny Harlin had put out in the first decade of the 21st century (With "Driven" & "Exorcist: The Beginning" being particularly abysmal) It's not a great film by any stretch of the imagination and it has strong shades of the third Die Hard film. But if you're just looking for a film for a lazy Saturday night, you could do worse.
