Detective Danny Fisher discovers his girlfriend has been kidnapped by a ex-con tied to Fisher's past, and he'll have to successfully complete 12 challenges in order to secure her safe release.
WWE's John Cena as an action hero? Meh. Why not? Let's see what happens...
In twelve rounds, the villain takes his wife and tells him he wants to play a game with him. The game is called...you guessed it, 12 rounds.
Even for movie time, the timing in this movie is unrealistic. Cena has 7 min to get from A to B. 15 minutes later he gets arrives. There is a bomb on a timer. It hits zero. 5 minutes later it explodes. Don't they pay people to check this stuff?
Watching 12 Rounds until the end, you'll realize something. The film is a low budget Die Hard 3. A bad guy sends the good guy on a wild goose chase "game" as a distraction towards his ultimate goal, a bank vault
full of money. The FBI agents are dicks who know more than they let on. Miles Jackson Is just as cold and calculating as Peter Simon and John Cena is a beefier John McClane, an everyday cop forced into a bad day situation. (Who also happens to pull off the most insane stunts and never seems have a scratch on him.)
For a WWE produced film starring John Cena, it isn't terrible, but it is just a little longer than it needs to be. If you're in the mood for a watered down version of Die Hard 3 you'll like it.
Out of Ten? 6
Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? No
