Now on DVD: “12 Rounds”

]]> 12 Rounds starring WWE star, John Cena, is already out on video.  I can’t believe how fast this came out!  I wrote about it being in theaters just a few months ago.  Can you remember a time when it took at least 6 months for a movie to come out on VHS?

12 rounds

WWE Studios (a division of World Wrestling Entertainment) is actually responsible for releasing this movie about a detective named Danny Fisher who, after his girlfriend is kidnapped, must navigate his way through “12 rounds” of a carefully plotted game designed by international terrorists.

On the DVD you will get both the rated and unrated versions and (yes, there is more) you will also get to see two alternate endings.  It also includes a behind-the-scenes look at John Cena’s stunts, a gag reel and audio commentaries with the director, writer and John Cena.

I know that when this originally came out, I said that I wouldn’t even watch it when it came out on DVD and I’ve got to say that nothing has changed.  The reviews for this movie were mostly terrible so I think I’ll avoid it.  If you do want a copy, you can order one from Amazon.

Now In Theaters: “12 Rounds”

]]> WWE Studios (a division of World Wrestling Entertainment) released 12 Rounds yesterday, starring WWE star, John Cena (he made his acting debut in one of their other films, The Marine).  In the movie, Cena plays Detective Danny Fisher, a man who is desperate to save his girlfriend, Molly Porter (Ashley Scott), after she is kidnapped by an internationally-known terrorist named Miles Jackson (Aiden Gillen).  Detective Fisher must successfully navigate through the streets of New Orleans and complete “12 rounds” of carefully plotted games.

12-rounds

Honestly, judging from the trailer and plot, I don’t think I’ll be seeing this movie in theaters or when it comes out on DVD.  One thing that I noticed from the trailer and from reading reviews is that the camerawork is a bit all-over-the-place and is even a little nauseating.  Still, Cena gives off a bit of a Mark Wahlberg feel so maybe this is open some doors for him.
