Review of 12 Rounds (2000) by Dean M — 05 Sep 2009
This action film's CG-free action set-pieces take place almost in real time, giving the film a sense of thundering urgency underlined by director Renny Harlin's jumpy camerawork and rapid edits.
Although John Cena's physical resemblance to a powershake-enhanced Mark Wahlberg doesn't bode too well for his acting ability, the erstwhile wrestler does prove surprisingly competent at holding your attention.
He may not have The Rock's easy charisma, or even his range, but on this evidence, Cena's post-grappling career has a promising future.
