12 Rounds 2: Reloaded

"12 Rounds 2" is kind of an awkward title for a movie - no wonder they added "Reloaded" on the end of that. Doubtless after someone said the title out loud...

The premise here is the same as the first in this WWE Studios production in which John Cena is replaced by Randy Orton as the main character, Nick, an EMT who is forced to play a twelve-round game by a bad guy out for revenge, or - stop me if you've heard this before - his wife is going to get it.

The plot of this movie, like the original, is wholly, completely and outrageously implausible but you can look past that - or, at least, I could - thanks to the action sequences, which are plentiful.

Randy Orton does a pretty good job as John Cena. Tough gig following on from perhaps the most accomplished WWE actor, but he has enough charisma and acting chops to carry proceedings along nicely.

Plot: In "12 Rounds: Reloaded," paramedic Nick Malloy (Randy Orton) finds himself caught in a deadly game orchestrated by a mysterious man who blames him for the death of his wife. Nick must complete a series of twelve challenges, each more dangerous than the last, in order to save innocent lives and uncover the truth behind the twisted game. As the rounds progress, Nick must rely on his survival skills and intelligence to outwit his ruthless adversary.

Review: "12 Rounds: Reloaded" is a decent action sequel that, while not reaching the heights of its predecessor, still offers an entertaining experience for fans of the genre. Although it falls short in comparison to the original film, it manages to deliver enough thrills and suspense to warrant a watch.

Randy Orton steps into the lead role as Nick Malloy, bringing a physical presence and intensity that suits the character. While not as charismatic as John Cena in the first film, Orton holds his own and convincingly portrays a determined hero caught in a deadly game. The supporting cast provides solid performances, adding depth to the story.

The plot of "12 Rounds: Reloaded" follows a similar formula to its predecessor, but lacks some of the originality and freshness. The challenges Nick faces are still engaging, but they don't reach the same level of excitement and complexity as the first film. However, the film manages to maintain a sense of suspense and keeps viewers invested in the outcome of each round.

The action sequences in "12 Rounds: Reloaded" are well-executed, providing the expected thrills and adrenaline rushes. While they may not be as elaborate or inventive as those in the original film, they still deliver entertaining moments and keep the pace of the movie engaging.

In conclusion, "12 Rounds: Reloaded" may not match the quality of its predecessor, but it still offers a decent action experience. Randy Orton brings a strong presence to the lead role, and the film delivers enough thrills and suspense to entertain fans of the genre. While it may not be as good as the first film, it is still worth a watch for those looking for an action-packed diversion.

(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.

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.
