This movie is set in the historic Louisiana crescent city of New Orleans. The beauty of the setting is unsurpassed. The cobblestone streets, French Quarter, trolley cars and natural beauty are amazing.
A detective, Danny Fisher, has "twelve rounds" to rescue his lady love, wife Molly, from a past nemesis. As the "rounds" progress more events do their best to derail this officer from his intended mission.
The Irish born international terrorist Miles Jackson, is determined to do everything he can to derail this officer from the most important mission of his life.
Coincidentally, this is not the first time that Fisher and Jackson have crossed paths. In an earlier flick, "The Marine" - the initial meeting between these two, Jackson killed Fisher's mentally challenged love. So, this time Fisher is determined to rescue the love of his life. Whether driven by guilt, passion or both, it is anybody's guess.
As the "12 Rounds" progress each stunt brings Danny Fisher closer to death. Items used to stop Fisher include a boat, a fire engine, a car and a trolley. It is not helpful when there are constant interruptions from the police department that are unable to be understood.
The real life World Wrestling Entertainment contender John Cena is extraordinary in this latest flick. He faces each explosive challenge with determination as he strives to complete each round.
If you like action movies, beautiful scenery and show stopping antics that will keep you on the edge of your seat, "12 Rounds" is a must see.
