12 Rounds (2009) (Blu Ray) - 8/10

Under the WWE trademark, this by the numbers action film is actually pretty fun, John Cena stars as the unstoppable cop who must get through 12 Rounds of obstacles to stop the madman who has his wife captive. Even though some of the dialogue is a bit cheesy, the action set pieces and stunts are top notch and you have to give credit to the screenwriters for an all over town romp that destroys everything from trolly cars, bridges, buildings, and helicopters. The tasks he must solve/do don't ever get too repetitive and are completed so fast that you never get caught up wondering why it was put in at all. Overall, a mindless flick that is great to just turn off your brain and watch a meathead run around punching people and jumping off rooftops. The fact that John Cena is afraid of heights makes it funny to know such a big tough wrestling guy still can be scared shitless. Better than expected.
