WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Leofwine_draca 12 ROUNDS 2: RELOADED is the second straight-to-video action thriller sequel I've watched this week in which the film's original actor has been replaced by wrestler-turned-actor Randy Orton. Unsurprisingly, 12 ROUNDS 2 is just as bad as THE CONDEMNED 2, a gloomy, mundanely-directed thriller sorely lacking in the kind of thrills required to make a decent flick. The plot, in which Orton plays the world's unlikeliest paramedic, sees a man forced to commit tasks against the clock by a vengeful psychopath. Mostly it's a collection of extremely low rent action bits rendered a bore by Orton's monotonous line delivery and extreme lack of depth.

Tss5078 WWE Films continue to surprise, giving us a string of terrific action thrillers from an unlikely source. Their latest straight to video release is a sequel to 2009s, 12 Rounds. While Randy Orton wasn't nearly as good as John Cena was in the first film, he gives a more than adequate performance as Nick Molloy, a paramedic who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. After failing to save a rich mans wife at the scene of a drunk driving accident, the man decides to punish all those involved, including the paramedic who failed to save her. The story here is pretty solid, especially for an action film, but what bothers me is that this sequel was in no way connected to the first film. Reloaded is a different story in a different city, with an entirely different cast, so how did the bad guy manage to come up with the same game, from four years earlier? As for that game, the rounds weren't as long or as complicated, but what really makes this better than your average action movie is the compelling back story and the depth of the characters involved. Randy Orton, while having very limited film experience was pretty good and that will come as a surprise to many. It's hard to think of WWE Superstars as actors, but that is exactly what they are. Aside from wrestling in their underwear every week, they have to play a charterer and follow a script 52 weeks a year, so is this really such a stretch? For the most part the WWE Superstars have made for some pretty exciting action stars. The supporting cast of this film was also very good, in particular Tom Stevens, formerly of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series. Stevens plays Tommy, another person caught up in this madman's game, and he is not only thrilling and charismatic, but he's pretty funny too. 12 Rounds 2 won't win any awards, but it is 90 minutes of non-stop action, packaged in a compelling story, which I found to be extremely entertaining.

haphazard72 As far as a storyline goes, this one isn't too bad, though I haven't seen the original to compare.The cinematography was great.In terms of the acting, Randy Orton was OK, but it would've been interesting to see his character with a higher profile actor and budget. The villain (if that's what you call him) didn't quite hit the mark for me. This is a role and character that could've been played by someone darker and actually looks like they have a grudge to beat.It had a lot of concepts similar to Eagle Eye in that everything and everyone is being watched and monitored which I love and find fascinating (and often wonder if it's possible!).I liked it overall, though I won't rush back to watch it again...

FlashCallahan Nick Malloy is an Emergency Medical Technician, who finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with a vigilante tied to the paramedic's past. With little time to spare, and his wife's life hanging in the balance, Nick must figure out why he's been chosen to be the pawn in this maniac's game before it's too late....If you enjoyed the first movie, and are ready to suspend disbelief for ninety minutes, you will have a ball watching this.Its a WWE movie, starring a huge jawed star who cannot act, but can run for miles and fight the good fight, and the villain stands in a sewer for the entire movie, ringing up Orton and getting him to drive somewhere and pick up a Wesley, maundering guy.And this is where you really have to suspend belief, the rationale of the villain is the act that Orton saved someone else before his wife, who died.So why is it Orton the guy picks on? Its really annoying, and if I were Nick, I'd tell him where to go, as his wife is pretty much safe for the majority of the movie.But like I've said, ignore this, and its a fun movie, with good production values and some good set pieces.In the end, you realise that Orton can fight two cops no problem, but struggles with a man nearly twice his age with one hand on the steering wheel.But its the best film ever made about having your best friend get caught in a blast, and never finding out what happened to him.
