12 Rounds 2: Reloaded

Again once time this drama totally copied from previous one i.e. part one. This time main characters are changed. Here story looks something realistic, but thriller part is again unreliable. Main villain, Brian Markinson is impressive. As me this movie is slight better than first part. Once time watchable.

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.

Edeltävällä elokuvalla oli jopa toivoa.

Ohjaus oman maan hollywood toivo Renny Harlin sekä nykyään monien tuntema John Cena. Valitettavasti tämä yhtälö ei riitä. En edes puhunyt käsikirjoittajasta mitään..

Mitä siis tulee tähän elokuvaan. Yksi näyttelijä, jonka tunnistin, vaikken tiedä nimeä. Elokuvan pahis.

Vaikka tiesin että kyseessä on tyyliin B-luokan elokuva niin tämä onnistui jossain määrin viihdyttämään, vaikkei kuitenkaan enempää kuin edeltäjä.

Kaiken kaikkiaan kelpo viihdettä jos ei kummoisia odota. 5/10

same in English.

The previous film even had hope.

Directed by Renny Harlin, a Hollywood hope in his own country, and John Cena, who is known to many today. Unfortunately, this equation is not enough. I didn't even mention the screenwriter..

So what about this film? One actor I recognized, although I don't know the name. The villain of the film.

Even though I knew that this was a B-grade film, this managed to entertain to some extent, although not more than its predecessor.

All in all, decent entertainment if you don't expect anything out of the ordinary. 5/10.

Not a masterpiece at all, however, I was entertained and was nice to see Jeff Bezos in a movie.

(2013) 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded ACTION SUSPENSE

This sequel has nothing to do with the first movie, except that both star WWE wrestlers, pointing out that you can watch this one without seeing the other. It stars Randy Orton as Nick Malloy who's an ambulance paramedic, and then coincidentally, a car accident happens right on front of him and his wife while going out for a walk along a bridge. After attempting to all three of them all at the same time, one does not make it. The movie then jump to a few years later, which while on duty, and assuming that someone needed an ambulance, Nick soon finds out that it was only a wild goose chase, with the ambulance truck he was on was completely rigged with explosives. He then stumbles onto a phone from an unknown caller, ordering him to perform a specific amount of tasks- it's more like 12 tasks, get it "12 Rounds" hence the title, otherwise, this unknown culprit will kill his wife. Now, at this point viewers suspect that it has something to do with the opening, involving the car accident, but don't quite know what, as the movie slowly reveals a little bit more about that as the movie is progressing. The low budget equivalent of (2007) 'Live Free Or Die Hard', "Eagle Eye", and "The Mean Season" to name a few... with villains asking our heroes to perform specific tasks, with at the same time, making the police law enforcement, of course, incompetent. This plot device is like a dime-a-dozen, which may have worked had I not seen the others.
