(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 7% Rotten Page   1   3.5/5 "With its wonderful post-Katrina NOLA setting and the standard stunt spectacle as only Harlin can deliver, 12 Rounds is actually quite good. It's no masterpiece, but then again, few post-millennial adrenaline rushes have been."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron D "With wrestling powerhouse WWE producing, chances are the statement, "Guys, this just doesn't make any sense," never came up during a script meeting. I can't fault 12 Rounds for being dumb. However, I will criticize 12 Rounds for being awful."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 2/4 "...a decent action movie that could've been a great one..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "Feels like it was written by high school students who have watched Die Hard a lot."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "Preposterous in its perverse practicality, 12 Rounds flexes its cheapened muscles more than its monosyllabic star Cena does in a 20-minute match-up on Monday Night Raw."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "Even the non-stop action of this movie isn't enough to conceal how completely nonsensical it is."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/4 "12 Rounds is the unholy stepchild of Die Hard with a Vengeance and Speed, starring a man whose lack of range makes Steven Seagal seem nuanced by comparison."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "So-so action movie has lots of fighting, other iffy stuff."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy "Wrestling star John Cena is the dead weight that drags down this brainless but energetic action picture."   Hollywood Reporter   Maitland McDonagh 1/3 "John Cena no ha perdido sus habilidades, y de nuevo deja K.O. al que se le ponga por delante. En este caso, el público."   Off-Off-Critica   MalaBesta "This ain't the real 12 Rounds. Not the actual movie. It's more like a storyboard. Or an animatic. That's it. Just to give you an idea of what the real movie's gonna look like. Man, you're gonna love it, I swear."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson "It is hard to know what is more depressing--the fact that Harlin is now reduced to making vanity projects for the WWE's film division or the fact that he can't even seem to pull something like that off anymore."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/4 "Renny Harlin's 12 Rounds attempts to put the final nail into the coffin of the static shot."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 7% Rotten Page   1
