I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I saw this sequel to the original 12 Rounds film starring John Cena and I thought that this film was in between very good and excellent. The film had some excellent acting by Randy Orton as Nick Malloy, Tom Stevens as Tommy Weaver, Brian Markinson as Heller, Venus Terzo as McKenzie and Cindy Busby as Sarah Malloy. The acting in this film by Randy Orton was excellent and I think that he should do some more acting for thrillers with action and violence, because he looks good for the role of a U.S Police Officer etc. 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded was awesome and was filled with some very tense action and suspense. There were explosions, chases and lots of hard gripping action. I thought this film was awesome but its not as good as the original 12 Rounds, but it definitely is a wicked film. I would give this a rating of 9 to 9.5 out of 10.

As far as a storyline goes, this one isn't too bad, though I haven't seen the original to compare.The cinematography was great.In terms of the acting, Randy Orton was OK, but it would've been interesting to see his character with a higher profile actor and budget. The villain (if that's what you call him) didn't quite hit the mark for me. This is a role and character that could've been played by someone darker and actually looks like they have a grudge to beat.It had a lot of concepts similar to Eagle Eye in that everything and everyone is being watched and monitored which I love and find fascinating (and often wonder if it's possible!).I liked it overall, though I won't rush back to watch it again...

Nick Malloy is an Emergency Medical Technician, who finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with a vigilante tied to the paramedic's past. With little time to spare, and his wife's life hanging in the balance, Nick must figure out why he's been chosen to be the pawn in this maniac's game before it's too late....If you enjoyed the first movie, and are ready to suspend disbelief for ninety minutes, you will have a ball watching this.Its a WWE movie, starring a huge jawed star who cannot act, but can run for miles and fight the good fight, and the villain stands in a sewer for the entire movie, ringing up Orton and getting him to drive somewhere and pick up a Wesley, maundering guy.And this is where you really have to suspend belief, the rationale of the villain is the act that Orton saved someone else before his wife, who died.So why is it Orton the guy picks on? Its really annoying, and if I were Nick, I'd tell him where to go, as his wife is pretty much safe for the majority of the movie.But like I've said, ignore this, and its a fun movie, with good production values and some good set pieces.In the end, you realise that Orton can fight two cops no problem, but struggles with a man nearly twice his age with one hand on the steering wheel.But its the best film ever made about having your best friend get caught in a blast, and never finding out what happened to him.

I didn't much care for the first "12 Rounds" movie, finding it flat and not very exciting. So when I sat down to watch this next entry, I was expecting it to be even worse than the original movie. But I have to admit that I was surprised. Yes, this sequel does have some problems, not just with the awkward title imposed on the front of the Blu-ray box ("12 Rounds 2"????) The main problem with this movie is that a lot of key linking footage, as well as entire scenes, seem to be missing here and there. Also, the ending is kind of abrupt. Still, there's a lot to enjoy here. The production values are generally pretty good for a movie that bypassed theaters. Randy Orton, though not a great actor, does seem to be trying, and he makes his character sympathetic enough. The main selling point of the movie is its relentlessness - once the crisis starts, there's barely a lull in the action and intensity. I'm not saying that this movie is a GREAT movie, but you'll likely find it better than you might be expecting, and it passes its 94 minutes with a certain briskness.
