Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

In fact!!! I didn't see this coming... I have always loved movies that feature guys with well built physiques, but it's rather unfortunate this would have to enter my bad books. The whole movie is just a massive pile of goofs that get you angry as you go along. I wonder why someone would sit to put down a plot that doesn't even pass for a high-school choreography. The movie makes the lead roles look dumb. The lady cop who was captured just disappeared from the story. I guess she had a small nap under the desk after all the intense bouts and long talk. I'm really sad to have wasted my time watching this. ALERT!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

may contain spoiler....the movie start very slow and then jump in the so called "action". whole film is about a highly trained corrupt police squad that left some evidence after a crime. they ( with automatic weapons)come after a good cop with a pistol and lost! and all happens in a modern police station that got on lock down for no reason and no one asking questions ! The bad guy had opportunity to kill the "hero" but instead start lecturing him so give him recording and chance to escape ! ... and for sure you'll have a happy ending you can guess the rest. bad acting , poor special effect and actually NO STORY , even the action scenes are boring.

My quick rating - 5,2/10. Another slightly above average action movie starring a WWE superstar, this time Dean Ambrose. I will say that using him for the main was a good call since he isn't the muscle bound type character such as Cena and Orton were in the previous films. For being his first acting role, he did an adequate job and delivered his one- liners pretty well (yet some were not that funny no matter who said them) The action was edited well so the viewers don't lose track with too much jerky camera work (which seems to be more the norm in action films as of late). This story is more a use of "12 rounds" as in shots left in the gun, not 12 rounds as in a cat and mouse game, but that is OK, at least it was different. Overall, a good addition to the WWE library that did not raise the bar at all, but also did not lower it in the slightest either. Funny thing, I went back to my database and I gave the first one a 5.3 and the second one a 5.1 so at least they are being consistent.

I am not sure if this movie ever was in theaters, but it seems like the kind of thing that would be straight to DVD, or perhaps cable TV. I wouldn't say there was a complete lack of effort in making this movie, but for the most part it's predictable and not very good. But the movie does try to take itself seriously, and it's almost laughable at times. For instance, I think the actors probably had trouble keeping a straight face when saying some of their lines - the typical action movie tough guy lines from all those bad 80's movies. I did still manage to finish watching the movie; it wasn't awful and if you just want some mindless action, it's doable. I think where it falls short especially though is in terms of the plot. It appeared to me the plot was mostly just there for convenience to string together the action sequences that make up the core of the movie - not a lot of plot development or much change in setting. Some of the action was pretty satisfying, but it mostly looked staged and unrealistic, like sprays of bullets that constantly miss their target. I noticed when watching this, several of the make actors looked like they had raging hangovers, I imagine they were getting hammered in the evenings and not taking their work too seriously. I think the ratings for this movie will drop over time.
