Review of 12 Rounds (2009) by Colin H — 04 Oct 2010
Despite all the negative hype that surrounds this movie. It's actually one I really enjoyed. A lot of people and critics hated this because it follow the same formula as the Die-Hard series or Speed. Truth is, this movie does follow suit and uses those movies formulas, but it's also highly entertaining not to mention having a great concept.
John Cena actually really surprised me in this. Never thought he could pull off a solid action movie until I watched this. Then again, The Rock also did the same thing and he really works as an action star. While it's true that the action in this movie is mostly stuff we've seen before. The story itself is pretty unique.
Of course, I guess it's safe to say this merely pays homage to early 90s action flicks. This movie is non-stop entertainment with classic moments.
