Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

07/08/2018 An OK bad cop movie, but be prepared to overlook the grade B or C class actors like Dean Ambrose and Lochlyn Munro (poor). Not that exciting of an old reused storyline and predictable. A one time watch only. Bon Appetit

I was first unsure about the "12 Rounds" series being I never seen any movies before. I am a fan of Dean Ambrose who plays Officer Shaw because I am a WWE fan as well. I was surprised of how good of a actor Ambrose was (not gonna say why) and I think he should be in other WWE films in the future. I did think the movie was a little on the short side but it was a movie to enjoy. Stephen Reynolds did a fantastic job directing this film and all the cast did a amazing job as well! I did wonder if they will make a 12 Rounds 4 anytime soon but hey, will it be better than 12 Rounds 3? anyway, I loved this movie because of all the action and adventure that is in it and I give it 9 out of 10 because I think it was very enjoyable to watch as a WWE fan! nice job acting Dean! :)

I remember when i watched the first film starring John Cena that was an awesome Action film the 2nd movie was pretty good but not better than the first one but this one has nothing to do with 12 rounds except the title it's a dumb movie made by WWE Studios this franchise was never something awesome but at least the first one was great fun this one not that much Dean Ambrose was OK tho but the casting was pretty bad and the action mostly boring nothing special really if you like those kind of films sure you will like it but for everyone else stay way it's not bad or garbage but it's pretty boring one thing i loved tho was the theme other than that it was stupid. 5 out of 10.

I am not sure if this movie ever was in theaters, but it seems like the kind of thing that would be straight to DVD, or perhaps cable TV. I wouldn't say there was a complete lack of effort in making this movie, but for the most part it's predictable and not very good. But the movie does try to take itself seriously, and it's almost laughable at times. For instance, I think the actors probably had trouble keeping a straight face when saying some of their lines - the typical action movie tough guy lines from all those bad 80's movies. I did still manage to finish watching the movie; it wasn't awful and if you just want some mindless action, it's doable. I think where it falls short especially though is in terms of the plot. It appeared to me the plot was mostly just there for convenience to string together the action sequences that make up the core of the movie - not a lot of plot development or much change in setting. Some of the action was pretty satisfying, but it mostly looked staged and unrealistic, like sprays of bullets that constantly miss their target. I noticed when watching this, several of the make actors looked like they had raging hangovers, I imagine they were getting hammered in the evenings and not taking their work too seriously. I think the ratings for this movie will drop over time.
