Advantages: Relentless action holds your attention Disadvantages: Copycat storyline
...going to be subjected to 12 rounds; if Danny is still standing after the 12 round he’ll get his girlfriend back, but if he’s not then Molly is for it. Will Danny make it through the 12 rounds?
John Cena is the latest in a long line of WWE Wrestlers to try his hand at acting, some have been moderately successful (The Rock), some not so (Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin). Therefore it must be difficult for wrestlers to dodge that critism that every ... ...With the premise of the 12 rounds that Danny must get through this gives the film ample opportunity for numerous set pieces where we witness Danny running from place to place using his physicality to his advantage. Cena is given a partner in the form of Detective Hank Carver played by Brian J. White. Carver has elements of Samuel L Jackson in him with his quick witted persona however this partnership is strikingly similar to that of Jack Traven and ...

Review of 12 Rounds
Advantages: Visually Impressive & Action Packed Disadvantages: Cheesy in places, a little predictable
Hellboy - a big, red, house-trained demon plucked from another dimension, now working for the US government... just in case you didn't know. The original Hellboy film (released back in 2004) had mixed reviews and generally fell into the realms of a 'love-it-or-hate it' type of movie. I personally wasn't particularly enamored with it at first, and only on subsequent viewings did I begin to appreciate its quality. Nowadays, I find it to be an underrated ... ...of the matter is that Hellboy and his unusual band of friends (including fire-starter Liz, and Aqua-man Abe) must once again save the world from the sinister underworld creatures who are threatening its very existence. Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro returns to direct Hellboy's second outing, and this is perhaps the best thing which could have happened to the franchise. Del Toro is sympathetic to the old-skool methods of creating special effects, ...
Advantages: All four Rambo movies in classy box, can't go wrong Disadvantages: Crazy OTT action (and hair do's) might not be for everyone
...the finest of the four Rambo movies, but Stallone has made a pretty good job of this franchise. In a novelty ammunition tin box you get all four Rambo movies in one complete set. Each disc has a variety of special features to give you a real insight into the Rambo story, from the creation of the troubled Vietnam-vet through his adventures in America, Afghanistan and Burma. A|s the series goes on the more ridiculous the stories and action gets... ... ...about Stallone, whether he's Rambo, Rocky or whoever, he's loveable. You can't help but like him and want him to succeed, even if it means him destroying hundreds of soldiers to achieve it. If you like Stallone, and more importantly if you like your action movies to be fully loaded and unafraid of the consequences then buy this box set, put your feet up and make an entire night of it, you won't be dissappointed. ...
Advantages: Great Storyline Disadvantages: I feel the ending was slightly rushed.
Excellent Trilogy, it is one of my personal favourites of all time. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.
There are a few scenes a of violence but there is nothing terrible or life changing in it. The films are very watcheable and addictive with a thriling storyline.
The films are full of great special effects, sometime it leaves you wondering whether it's actually real as it's so convincing. Amazing characters, for instance Davy Jones looks ...
Advantages: Fight choreography Disadvantages: Not a good film
...dangerous and are considered abominations. Ultraviolet is a woman caught in the crossfire, affected by the virus but not controlled by it. She finds herself protecting a boy who has been marked for death by the government due to contamination, and has to fight the government and the forces that run it.
Cast and Performances
There is not much of a famous cast to mention, and, to be honest, it is hardly worth mentioning those who are in it. Milla ... ...William Fichtner as Garth does what he can with a dire script. The supporting cast holds no stars in the making, and there is a serious lack of character development. The writers and director Kurt Wimmer have not managed to make a good film here, unfortunately.
My Opinion
The one saving grace of the film is the fighting choreography. While it goes nowhere near to saving the film from a 1 star rating, it is done very well, and it is entertaining. ...
