12 Rounds

Release Year: 2009
Review: '12 Rounds' is meant to be an all out, in your face action movie, but is more a low-rate bore. Danny Fisher, played by John Cena accidentally arrests a criminal mastermind who then seeks revenge on Cena by kidnapping his girlfriends, forcing him to play a 12 round game to win her back. The plot sounds an awful lot like a 'Die Hard' movie, and that is exactly what this film is trying to emulate. Cena is hardly Bruce Willis, and the games challenges are uninspired. It's a sparse plot that is badly acted which tries to save itself with explosions. Save yourself the time and just watch any of the Die Hard movies again.
Rating: 2/5
