12 Rounds

It took several months for me to watch this movie, maybe because I failed to watch his first movie, The Marine. The director of this film is the same director of Die Hard 2 and Deep Blue Sea, which gave me interest to watch 12 Rounds. Starred by John Cena, a wrestler superstar, whose relationship with World Wrestling Federation (WFF) reached to a higher level of producing films. WWF has already produced four films which include The Marine, See No Evil, and The Condemned. Two of the films are starred by John Cena and I won’t be surprised if they still have movies installed for him. ‘Coz despite of not so being a box office success, their films are not poorly rated and earned a lot through DVD rentals and sales.

Donnie (John Cena), starred as a police officer who made the most outstanding job in his career by sending a famous gangster, Miles Jackson (Aidan Gillen) to jail. Donnie got promoted with the job and after a year, Miles broke off from jail and started to haunt Donnie, his wife and his best friend. Playing a very exciting game of Miles, Donnie needs to survive the 12 rounds to save his wife and his best friend.

Mr. Cena needs to work on his acting, but since he is a new comer, what he did in this film was bearable. Every round is breath-taking, it’s like watching a boxing fight except that knock out is impossible without reaching the 12th round. Not the best but one of the good action-packed films that shouldn’t be missed.
