12 Rounds 2: Reloaded (2013)

Too much of everything

Fresh and Exciting

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I saw this sequel to the original 12 Rounds film starring John Cena and I thought that this film was in between very good and excellent. The film had some excellent acting by Randy Orton as Nick Malloy, Tom Stevens as Tommy Weaver, Brian Markinson as Heller, Venus Terzo as McKenzie and Cindy Busby as Sarah Malloy. The acting in this film by Randy Orton was excellent and I think that he should do some more acting for thrillers with action and violence, because he looks good for the role of a U.S Police Officer etc. 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded was awesome and was filled with some very tense action and suspense. There were explosions, chases and lots of hard gripping action. I thought this film was awesome but its not as good as the original 12 Rounds, but it definitely is a wicked film. I would give this a rating of 9 to 9.5 out of 10.

I thought this movie was way better than the first 12 rounds movie starring John Cena. This had some good and exciting action spots compared to the first movie. I thought Randy Orton did a great job in his first time as a lead role. Like in WWE, where the superstars act according to a script, in the movie industry its the same. So I don't think Randy had a lot of difficulties in acting even though he lacks acting experience in movies. Randy has done well to keep the "Nick Malloy" character interesting.This movie was not a box office hit, but this consists of great action scenes, great acting from the cast and also a good story.

Now I was one of the few that enjoyed the original 12 rounds starring John Cena for what it is a fun action film. However, this film is a huge step down from the original. I have got to be honest going into this film I thought Randy Orton was going to be worse then Cena but I was pleasantly surprised that the performances of the villain and Randy Orton are good. The villain wasn't as good or intelligent as the previous villain but was solid and Orton was relatable and still cool at the same time. Even though there is some differences in this film from the original it feels like a worse version of the original and when Orton isn't on screen none of the other good guys are compelling and you care about none of them not even Orton's wife. They were much more interesting in the original and I know I am comparing this a lot to the original but everything about this film is just a predictable worse version of the original not worth a watch but I hope Orton gets another chance in a good WWE studios film if they ever make another one after 12 rounds.

I didn't much care for the first "12 Rounds" movie, finding it flat and not very exciting. So when I sat down to watch this next entry, I was expecting it to be even worse than the original movie. But I have to admit that I was surprised. Yes, this sequel does have some problems, not just with the awkward title imposed on the front of the Blu-ray box ("12 Rounds 2"????) The main problem with this movie is that a lot of key linking footage, as well as entire scenes, seem to be missing here and there. Also, the ending is kind of abrupt. Still, there's a lot to enjoy here. The production values are generally pretty good for a movie that bypassed theaters. Randy Orton, though not a great actor, does seem to be trying, and he makes his character sympathetic enough. The main selling point of the movie is its relentlessness - once the crisis starts, there's barely a lull in the action and intensity. I'm not saying that this movie is a GREAT movie, but you'll likely find it better than you might be expecting, and it passes its 94 minutes with a certain briskness.
