| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfWith wrestling powerhouse WWE producing, chances are the statement, "Guys, this just doesn't make any sense," never came up during a script meeting. I can't fault 12 Rounds for being dumb. However, I will criticize 12 Rounds for being awful. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottWith all the nuance of a fist to the groin, ... (it's) the kind of forgettable film that isn't impossible to enjoy but that only a Cena fan could truly love. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz Braun12 Rounds is too long, and about 80 minutes in you'll give up trying to make sense of the thing. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerHugely entertaining, fast paced and enjoyably old fashioned action thriller that delivers more explosions, chase scenes and action sequences in one film than in the rest of the summer blockbusters put together. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinThere's something strangely charming about films that are all artifice, explosions, and naked calculation. 12 Rounds is at least honest trash: It never pretends to be anything other than manic schlock. |
| PopMattersBill GibronWith its wonderful post-Katrina NOLA setting and the standard stunt spectacle as only Harlin can deliver, 12 Rounds is actually quite good. It's no masterpiece, but then again, few post-millennial adrenaline rushes have been. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Mickey McMonagleCena has the sort of likeable air that suggests he could just make it as an action movie type. However, it won't be thanks to this movie. |
| Daily Record (UK)Grant Lauchlan12 Rounds is a big chunk of outlandish nonsense stuck in a time-warp of conventions, bereft of originality and genuine thrills. |
| EmpireGenevieve HarrisonDerivative it may be, but with its echoes of "Speed," "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard With A Vengeance," this is a welcome throwback for audiences raised on '90s action flicks -- what they used to call "a pulse-pounding roller-coaster thrill-ride of a movie." |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carras a fast-food action director, Renny Harlin still delivers a fun movie |
