Bruce Willis thriller that's flawed but fun

Advantages: Action sequences are great, engaging characters.
Disadvantages: Ending is flat.

...solid cinema entertainment, with Hostage, 16 Blocks and Die Hard 4.0 all proving the dynamism of the actor. Despite the advancing years and receding hairline, Willis can still match his previous performances with the same gusto and authority. 16 Blocks, released in 2006, is familiar grouind for Willis, allowing him to use his tongue in cheek humour and star status to create yet another likeable and emotionally fraught character. The similarity in ...
...his kids. His character in 16 Blocks is on a par with these two films, with Willis playing a drunken and crippled cop seeking to put an end to the corruption and dishonesty prevalent in modern day police practice, while also trying to sort out his own life. Willis plays Detective Jack Mosley, an embittered and frankly shabby looking cop spending his days drinking on the job and upset with the path his life has taken. He sports an uncharacteristically ...

2012 Movie...Good effects but predictable storyline

Advantages: Visual Effects
Disadvantages: Predictable storyline

...the Mayan Calender in December 2012 and then plays out what is predicted, I think that this is the best part as it shows what is happening to different parts of the world, where as films in the same genre only show one country being on-slaughtered so to speak. From the beginning it is action packed, although the acting is a little bit dubious at times the visual effects more than makes up for it, it will keep you in your chairs throughout the entire ...

12 Rounds Of Torture

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 ...
