      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Energetic but empty, 12 Rounds' preposterous plot hurtles along at a rapid pace, but can't disguise the derivative script. Read critic reviews

        12 Rounds is one of those films that will never be rememberd or set the box office on fire but it's fun, It's gripping from start to finish but something was missing that would of gave it an extra punch, The story was good and the nice twist at the end was great, The acting wasn't great but John Cena does his best, It's a nice way to kill time but no more.

        12 Rounds is full of energy but doesn't pack the right amount of punch. The film's tacky acting and loose storyline could only push it so far, but not far enough to go the distance. 2.5/5

        Everything-in-the-trailer <i>Die Hard With A Vengeance</i> rip-off, with dot-to-dot simplistic plotting and a truly terrible lead performance from WWE Star John Cena. Further evidence of Renny Harlin's hackary, the script is risible, the situations utterly unbelievable and the characterisation non-existent. The only thing working is Aidan Gillen's charismatic performance; he makes for an enjoyable villain and is totally fuckable. If he doesn't float your boat there's absolutely nothing here.

        Instantly forgettable, 12 Rounds is part Speed, Die Hard, Saw, 24, and 88 Minutes (a terrible movie itself). The script is horrendous, and is not given any favors by a cast headlined by John Cena. What keeps this movie from being a complete train wreck are a number of "so bad its' good moments" and energetic pacing with a few good action scenes.
