Just watched it....thoughts....


Just watched this movie yesterday (for free - thankfully I didn't have to pay for it).

It's not the worst movie I'v seen. But it's so predictable, generic and forgettable. It's a compilation of other (and way better) movies. Just take a handful of "Die Hard With A Vengeance" (playing games, distract everybody just to go after the money), a good load of "Speed" (killing his best friend with a bomb, bus-scenes), some parts of "Die Hard" and maybe some hints of "The Rock" and "Metro". Just blend everything and replace all good actors and characters with a very uninteresting main actor, a villain who's not intimidating at all and a girlfriend with the acting range of a baked potatoe. Then take a famous line from "Taken", change it a bit and you end up with "12 Rounds" (including a pretty annoying shaky cam).

Like I said, it's not the worst. But it was so boring. Everything has been done before...absolutely no excitement. I didn't care who lived or died. Better than Asylum-movies though.

What do you think about this movie?

Just watched it yesterday and I must say I agree with your review 100%. Not so bad I won't watch it until it ends, but bad enough I'll never recommend it to anyone, unless they're a huge fan of all the movies you mentioned and which this movie is obviously ripped of.

I'm kinda sad that his negro partner was killed in that explosion, didn't see that coming.
