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.

I heard that John Cena was in this movie but I just never saw him. Very strange movie with people having one sided conversations. Good way to waste time would watch again.

John Cena's best movie.

Very similar to "Die Hard 3"

Surprise of a film buoyed by an excellent villain. It's better than it has any right to be, but a strong hand at the helm (Die Hard 2's director Renny Harlin) brings in a good, old fashioned 80's action film years after the 80's were done...so much fun.

It's a decent way to blow an hour and a half. John Cena did a fair job in the transition from squared circle to big screen. The movie was quite far-fetched in many scenes but still fun, if you can sever yourself from reality for ~90 minutes. Not sure who this Gillen guy is, but he pulled off a great job as the bad guy. I gave the movie a mediocre rating based only on how outlandish so much of it was; in all, it was a fun film to watch. :sunglasses:

More enjoyable than I expected, an unabashed mix of Die Hard With a Vengeance and Speed. Cena holds his own well and Gillen does a solid job as the antagonist

Good old Action
Here you can’t expect too much realism, if you can deal with, it makes more than fun.

108 minutes of action no boring parts.
