I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is an absolute crap movie.The story line is terrific and it certainly had potential but unfortunately they hired the worst camera man they possibly could.The movie was filmed by someone with Tourette syndrome.What fool with a brain snap thought this was going to be a goer?I would be surprised if there is ANYONE who could watch this rubbish without feeling seasick.Don't get me wrong, there are some things about this flick that could be said to be okay, like the story line, but no matter how good that story line is, it pales into total insignificance when you try to watch it on the full screen.I have my own copy of this and I could only get half way through it and when I pull it out of machine, it goes straight into the garbage, where it belongs.A perfectly good movie, completely spoiled because they thought it would be real cool to record it on camcorder carried by a spastic.

This film had no potential. The plot was overused. Kind of felt like a Taken vibe to it. No good performances. Cheap villain. Cheap ending. Nothing much good to this movie. I will say it has a good few scenes. But it was clichéd. Predictable. With nothing for a script.World Wrestling Entertainment really overdid this trilogy. Making 2 garbage sequels (Being worse than this)Slight pros for the film. There are a few scenes that make you feel thrilled at a brief moment. So it is not a 1 star worthy film. But all and all 3/10. Waste of a film.

Now I didn't see this movie in theaters but I did pick it up on DVD it was release pay full price for the movie. At the price I paid for it I had hope for my money's worth. Well more or less it was something different for my DVD collection. The film stars John Cena as Detective Danny Fisher as he is caught in the middle of a dangerous game as Miles Jackson played by Aidan Gillen seeks to get even with Danny by kidnapping his Girlfriend Molly Porter played by Ashley Scott.12 Rounds is not a original story by any means nor does it feature an Oscar Award winning movie but it is still a surprise watch it just one of those films you should try to watch with a open mind and forget the fact it's a WWE Studios movie that stars John Cena. I mean the film features some tense moments that get you wondering what goes on next and the action scenes in the film are just pretty insane that you just have to see it to believe. So it does more than just features a pro wrestler in a leading role but don't let that stop you from watching this movie While it does fall sure of being that kind of movie you would want in the action genre and the film doesn't feature the best performances in the world nor a original plot it does have some good to it I give 12 Rounds an 7 out of 10

A decent enough action movie, although nothing original and also completely forgettable. It's along the lines of Die-hard or Speed, filled with stunts and chases as our cop hero (John Cena) is forced to complete a series of "tasks" in order to save his fiancée from being murdered by an escaped criminal looking for revenge.Some of the "tasks" are pretty good as Cena tries to stop a runaway streetcar, is dangled from a building, escapes a falling elevator and jumps from a helicopter into a pool. I enjoy him in these action roles and while as a whole this is a way better movie than The Marine, I still preferred that one because it was OTT fun and had a high cheese factor. I also found myself thinking how hard it must be to find a suitable stuntman for Cena because he is so freakishly huge. The ending did make me smile "Helicopter exploded no big deal "About the house" and I enjoyed the dog here too. 9/13/14
