12 Rounds 3: Lockdown Movie Download

4 / 10

Just another Die Hard knock off……
A police officer returns to duty after recovering from a gun shot wound to discover incriminating evidence of illegal activities against those closest to him.

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……

John Cena and WWE have a lot to answer for. Between the two of them, they have taken two perfectly passable B-movie action flicks, and turned them into a monster that won’t give up the Die Hard ghost.

The sequels to The Marine, are nothing more than Die Hard wannabe shlockfests, and in turn, this franchise is becoming the same monster.

But what’s the twist here? Why, the twelve rounds are referring to the number of bullets that Dean Ambrose has in his gun. Because a good cop doesn’t need more than twelve bullets in a Die Hard situation……eat that Bruce.

And what does become clear very soon into the film, is that this movie wasn’t supposed to be a sequel, the makers just saw the finished product, felt their heart sink, and tagged on the franchise name.

The plot and the narrative, are perfectly acceptable and a pretty good concept, Cop comes back to work after being traumatised, colleagues are planning a robbery, blame their killing of other cops on the returning cops mental health state, thus leaving him with having to clear his name and quip really poor, incoherent one liners.

It’s not a terrible film by any means, it’s just so boring and mundane, and Ambrose should make the most of this movie, because I feel he won’t be getting many more movie offers soon. At least he’s got his wrestling to fall back on.

So for the rest of the film we have Ambrose hiding from a villain who is really doing his best to be Michael Jai White and killing cops when Ambrose won’t move into the view of the CCTV, the bloke from Scary Movie looking really old and sweaty, and obviously your token police outside shouting ‘we’re going in’.

It all ends with a silly twist, and it doesn’t deliver anything new or surprising.

Well it did surprise me when I found out Ambrose is only 29. He looks well into his forties.
