12 Rounds 2

WWE Superstar Randy Orton gets a chance to star in this solids action movie from director Roel Reiné (The Marine 2). In the movie, Orton plays Nick Malloy, an EMT who, while driving home from a date with his wife, witnesses a car accident. He does what he can to save the people in the wreck, but one of the passengers dies. Twelve months later, Malloy is set up on by a crazed killer who makes him complete 12 increasingly dangerous tasks that he must finish within a specific time frame or innocent people will die. This sequel to the 2009 movie starring WWE Superstar John Cena, doesn’t move the original story forward so much a pick it up, dust it off and recycle it for Orton. And that’s fine. The role isn’t that challenging, but Orton does a decent enough job. The only really weak link in the film is Brian Markinson’s needlessly cheesy performance as the bad guy.
