Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

nims-1975 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.

James Donnelly 12 Rounds of non-stop action more or less! The villain is a man driven to the edge after losing his wife in a car accident where the driver, the son of a governor, is practically let off Scott-Free. You actually understand why the man takes this course of drastic action.Randy Orton plays a paramedic who attended that car accident and instead of saving the wife, he saved the driver. And it's that driver that gets pulled into this cat and mouse game as the villain seeks his revenge.This was Randy Orton's first lead role, and he did a pretty respectable job.Wrestlers like Randy are bound to succeed in action movies, as the acting is standard.Randy is the only star of the movie as far as I'm concerned as I don't recognise any of his co-stars.Its a decent enough movie with superb action sequences

Yasitha Desilva 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.

Tss5078 WWE Films continue to surprise, giving us a string of terrific action thrillers from an unlikely source. Their latest straight to video release is a sequel to 2009s, 12 Rounds. While Randy Orton wasn't nearly as good as John Cena was in the first film, he gives a more than adequate performance as Nick Molloy, a paramedic who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. After failing to save a rich mans wife at the scene of a drunk driving accident, the man decides to punish all those involved, including the paramedic who failed to save her. The story here is pretty solid, especially for an action film, but what bothers me is that this sequel was in no way connected to the first film. Reloaded is a different story in a different city, with an entirely different cast, so how did the bad guy manage to come up with the same game, from four years earlier? As for that game, the rounds weren't as long or as complicated, but what really makes this better than your average action movie is the compelling back story and the depth of the characters involved. Randy Orton, while having very limited film experience was pretty good and that will come as a surprise to many. It's hard to think of WWE Superstars as actors, but that is exactly what they are. Aside from wrestling in their underwear every week, they have to play a charterer and follow a script 52 weeks a year, so is this really such a stretch? For the most part the WWE Superstars have made for some pretty exciting action stars. The supporting cast of this film was also very good, in particular Tom Stevens, formerly of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series. Stevens plays Tommy, another person caught up in this madman's game, and he is not only thrilling and charismatic, but he's pretty funny too. 12 Rounds 2 won't win any awards, but it is 90 minutes of non-stop action, packaged in a compelling story, which I found to be extremely entertaining.
