Twelve (2010)

Sick Product of a Sick System

Pretty Good

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Movie is based on the fast life. and losses and I don't know why it got such a low rating. but these movie was played very well. with good actors. even 50 cent did a very good job. Over all for me is 10/10. I found it to be very well played and at least these movie was not turned into junky suicide kind of movie it ended very well for me I would of like the ending to shown the after a couple years in so as most movies do but it had a nice ending so can't complain.I recommended these movie to any one who is young between 16-25 is not much of action but more like a story about a none drug user who sells pot and has a tragic lost and things go wrong but is more then you can ask for.

Joel Schumacher a name behind some terribly fun stuff and too many out of the track movies. While I actually liked his badly reviewed "The Number 23", this new offering from Shumacher is a bore. The plot of the movie is something with high potential though too many movies relying on the similar theme about teen frustrations, drugs et cetera et cetera have been attempted many times before. But what lacked here is the proper narration of the story. The huge problem is it takes too much time to introduce its characters to stabilize the movie and most of these are played by too many lame actors. Also the constant background narration by Kiefer Sutherland has been a bump in the flow of the movie. While in movies like Fight Club, the background narration added thrill and were used in the esthetically, here these narration were actually bumps and slowed down pace of the movie. A creative cinematography and nice editing was also lacking. So, At the end of the movie all slow paced movie with zero intensity.

White Mike (Chase Crawford) sells weed to various rich kids in New York, who all have their personal problems. Crash-ish but with predominantly high school kids.This kept me watching, but it's not great. Most characters are all lavish, wealthy a-holes you don't feel sorry for, but somehow you are interested in. Lots of unbelievable points in the script, and a lot of times you just want to call the characters d-bags.Worth a watch if you like the actors. I don't know anything else Crawford has done outside of this film, but he does a very good job as the lead. 50 Cent has a bit part but it's probably the best performance he's turned in as of yet. Emma Roberts matches her looks with acting skill. These are the biggest names but they're all pretty good.You can do better but if you have nothing else to do and you like the subject matter or the actors, it might be worth a look.

I had some curiosity in watching Twelve, director Joel Schumacher's most recent film, because even though many people identify this director with his most notorious failures (Batman Forever and Batman & Robin), I think that when he worked with the correct material and actors, he could make very solid films (like The Lost Boys, Veronica Guerin and Tigerland).Unfortunately, Twelve belongs to the list of Schumacher's bad films. This movie is basically an affected and pretentious rehash of the TV series Gossip Girl seasoned with an artificial "gangsta" taste, irritating dialogs and pathetic performances. Oh, and instead of Kristen Bell's voice as the omnipresent narrator from Gossip Girl, we have Kiefer Sutherland's unmistakable voice bringing forced pseudo-philosophical monologues which try to bring gravity to the characters' puerile lives.To start with, the emotions evoked by Twelve feel forced, and I found its characters to be absolutely irritating. The screenplay does not have a point, and I never had even a remote interest in the main character's salvation or failure.In conclusion, Twelve is an atrocious film which genuinely made me feel like wasting my time. In other words, don't make the same mistake I did, and avoid this film.
