Fantastic!

Brilliant and touching

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

"He's dirty and I got the evidence." After returning to the force after a gunshot wound, officer Shaw (Ambrose) thinks he's in for a easy day back. When he discovers his former partner is involved in illegal activity he wants to do something about it. After the building is locked down It is up to him to stop them and keep the evidence safe. There really isn't too much to say about this one. The first two movies in this series were actually not too bad. A cop forced to go through a series of tests in order to save the ones he loves. The only thing this had in common with the others is the title and a wrestler is the main star. This is pretty much a generic action movie that did everything it could to be Assault on Precinct 16 but fell way short. Overall, a pretty cliché action movie that really is worth watching only if you are a huge fan of Dean Ambrose. This one strayed too far from what made the others interesting to watch. I give this a C.

I remember when i watched the first film starring John Cena that was an awesome Action film the 2nd movie was pretty good but not better than the first one but this one has nothing to do with 12 rounds except the title it's a dumb movie made by WWE Studios this franchise was never something awesome but at least the first one was great fun this one not that much Dean Ambrose was OK tho but the casting was pretty bad and the action mostly boring nothing special really if you like those kind of films sure you will like it but for everyone else stay way it's not bad or garbage but it's pretty boring one thing i loved tho was the theme other than that it was stupid. 5 out of 10.

There are some glaringly obvious plot issues with this movie. The re-instated police officer, who's partner was killed, uncovers evidence of foul play. Immediately upon doing so, the perpetrator of said foul play and corruption realizes that he has the evidence and attacks him while he is still in the police station. The antagonist shuts off cell and phone communication and disables the network. He communicates with the outside using radio, the same radio which he communicates with his fellow perpetrators. In addition, the main character either has an IQ of 50 or the writer lacks imagination. At one point the antagonist finds himself in the armory and he grabs a shield with 6 or 7 bullets left whilst being out-gunned. Even a moron, with far below the intelligence required to pass a police competency test, would have gone for some artillery. He communicates on a cell phone to a potential ally from the roof, yet never stops to say "Hey, I am throwing the flash drive down to you", something that would've removed the motivation for the whole thing. Even the basic premise, the corrupt cop explaining that he has disabled communications and put the building on lock down, makes zero damn sense in any real situation. Why would disabling cellular communication help in apprehending a cop suffering from PTSD that had gone on a killing spree. A rating of 4 is based upon the fact that the movie is still entertaining, as long as you can imagine for a second that the multiple cameras in the police station are not recording everything that is happening and that they wouldn't be reviewed after the incident... and everything else.

The first anomaly comes from the title, it doesn't mean a gauntlet of chores the villain has set up for protagonist anymore. Instead it displays the rounds our hero has, but considering he can loot other weapon and decides not to for integrity of the title feels rather limiting. Fortunately, Jonathan Good (Dean Ambrose) channels his inner John McClaine surprisingly well and Roger Cross as the antagonist has the aura of TV show bad guy.This is what you'd expect from action flick, the usual dirty cop and the rouge hero trapped in an unfortunate situation. It borrows heavily from Die Hard and perhaps because it's an already proved formula, Lockdown is not entirely bad. Dead Ambrose is not the usual protagonist, he looks genuinely troubled which serendipitously may help his rogue cop character.There's a few of illogical events are put there for the sake of pushing the plot, and adds that to the occasional odd alternate way of dispatching enemies, it can be awkward. A couple of bad CG makes the movie slightly unintentionally funny at times.However, it's still a passable action shoot'em up. The change from complex mind games to simple gunslinger and melee action is good decision since the franchise doesn't have the refined production to pull off such cerebral setting.Lockdown is definitely flawed, yet it brings enough action antics to be a popcorn flick or lazy afternoon watch.
