Ambrose is playing a cop named Shaw, who’s just returned to work after an extended leave following a shooting that got his partner killed and got him wounded. Jonathan Good).Īmbrose doesn’t really look like much and hardly has the appearance of a wrestler (he never takes his shirt off in this film, so it’s hard to tell), but he’s got that everyman look to him, a little less like John McClane, a little more like the character Jason Patrick played in, say, Speed 2: Cruise Control.
ROUNDS 3 LOCKDOWN 12 MOVIE
With Orton off shooting The Condemned 2, the next guy in line to headline another 12 Rounds movie was Dean Ambrose (a.k.a.
When WWE eventually decided to spin 12 Rounds into an in-name only sequel franchise like they were doing with The Marine (which was another PG-13 Cena-starring vehicle), they’d moved on to the next tier of in-house wrestling stars and gave Randy Orton his shot at the title with the direct-to-video 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded. The first 12 Rounds, from director Renny Harlin (who did the far superior Die Hard 2: Die Harder), was bogged down by bloodless action, safe scripting, and a woefully weak villain who never stood a chance against Cena, who at least on the surface looks like a beast. By the time the PG-13 rated WWE film 12 Rounds (starring John Cena) was released, the riffing got to the point where the riff was lifting the idea of the third film in the Die Hard franchise, and while the idea of a guy being forced to run around a city, doing impossible tasks for a terrorist, is fairly sound, it was never an idea that anyone should have been copying, but it was what it was, and it gave us another big screen effort from the hulked out John Cena, who to this day has never been given the vehicle film he needs to have to make him a full-fledged action star. No matter how many times it gets knocked off, it’s still a great idea. Die Hard had a great one, and then there were the riffs on Die Hard like Under Siege, Speed, Passenger 57, and every other “guy gets stuck in a place with terrorists” movie. Review: Good concepts for action movies can be found out there. He quickly finds himself trapped inside his own precinct, hunted and in search of the truth, as the crooked cops stop at nothing to recover the evidence. Plot: Lockdown Follows a police officer who returns to duty after recovering from a gun shot wound to discover incriminating evidence of illegal activities against those closest to him.
WWE signed off on it and allowed this to happen, and it’s by far the worst film from their canon – worse even than you can imagine.
