There are some thrilling sequences but action veteran Renny Harlin (Mindhunters, Exorcist: The Beginning) is asleep at the wheel and John Cena (Ready to Rumble) gives a thankless but mediocre performance

II kept hitting fast-forward on my remote control through 60% of the movie .....The story was just too hard to watch ...

I loved it and did not expect to. I am a fan of 80s and 90s action movies and this reminds me of these so much with the shitty dialogue and uptight feds. Cena does most of his own stunts and the car chases are not CGI. Turn off your brain and enjoy it.

Not bad but didn't catch my interest. Overall an okay movie.

Better than you think, but still just another action flick to pop on before you sleep. Still, love John Cena in this! The story and “games” played are actually interesting but the ending is whatever. Just suspend your belief and it’s fine, this is during the Super Cena era so of course he’ll do ridiculous stuff here.

Bad! Just Bad! I mean really, Really, REALLY BAD! Stunts were not believable (especially the street car scene), bad acting with meathead characters. But the worst part was the plot. Very perdictable and unoriginal. I was able to stay ahead of officer idiot (John Cena) because I have seen 2 movies. This crappy film is a really lame mix of them. Speed meets Die Hard With a Vengence. Pretty lazy effort on everyone's part. I would give a lower rating if I could.

75/100 - worth a watch through. takes you back to a different time. its interesting to see how cenas acting has changed over the years and how differently and politically charged films are today compared to even 10 years ago. films used to just be films, now theyre scripts for a political agenda. sad tbh.

John cena has not found his good acting yet. Over the top and not a fan

Stupid beyond belief

It's a conventional, but still fun action flick. As usual Harlin handles all the action with flair and Cena proves he could be a solid lead, but not of this helps the fact that this is just a rather pedestrian action movie. Good for a rainy Saturday afternoon, but that's about it.

Besides the confusing action scenes, bad characters and basic plot my biggest problem with this movie is the villain. You just don't fear him, unlike Howard Payne in Speed (1994) when the main character actually confronts him he comes off as goofy. I'm sure Aiden Gillan is a good actor but he was definitely miscast in this movie. John Cena is alright but the character was not well written and he makes bad decisions. Over all pretty bad would not recommend.

The film fails to do anything new, or have actors good enough to pull this off. Forgettable at best.

The Movie Was Just Terrible , Just Awful👎🤬😠

I had a good time watching this in Thailand. Mind you we were drinking the whole time. The plot is kind of like a 80's action movie, but it works for me. Almost like a Diehard 3 ripoff.

This movie's has something for everyone, from boxing to self growth. Thank you for this opportunity to make this correction. I believe the review is totally inaccurate, the movie was most inspiring. If you look at where the main character came from and how he evolved both physically and emotionally, you will agree. If the audience listens carefully, they will walk away with several jewels of knowledge, which has resulted in a great deal of personal growth for many in real life. I would hope that anyone who has had some of the more difficult life struggles would see this movie and be inspired to the seek the same changes in their life. The emotional growth is not fiction, but factual true life experiences by many, which has made this movie most unique. After watching this movie one has the possibility of coming away with opportunities they never thought possible. The words of knowledge are many, it will speak volumes to the aidience. This is not just a film about a fighter, although it was well done, very engaging and entertaining. Twelve Round Gun is a unique screenplay whose time has come. This is an action packed film physically with delivery by a almost incredible actor Sam Upton, who should be considered for an Academy Award not just for his amazing acting, but for this engaging screenplay which has resulted in a super movie. This is one film that should not be missed. Dianne C.

Renny Harlin keeps the action moving but the plot is unbelievable and full of implausibilities.

Nothing too special but I enjoyed it, despite my low expectations. I would compare it to Speed with a wrestler out performing Keanu Reeves.
