27 of 27 · most liked firstJohn Cena told the TODAY Show that he "didn't have my heart" in early film projects. Another bad day to be a fan of the 12 ROUNDS franchise.

But do you know about Atticus Ross and 12 Rounds? I was lucky to have found them when they were new in the late 90s. They didn't last long, but they were great.

neutral · AI labelView post →So far while taking the Cena'c Route, I have watched: The Marine (2006), 12 Rounds (2009), Fred the Movie (2010), Legendary (2010), The Reunion (2011), and Fred 2: The Night of the Living Fred (2011). Of these I had never watched the Fred movies prior
neutral · AI labelView post →John Cena means a lot to me. I can’t wait to meet him in August. Going through his filmography is going to be so fun. Today alone I’ve watched The Marine, 12 Rounds, Fred: The Movie, and Legendary.

neutral · AI labelView post →12 Rounds is IMO the best of the WWE Studios films, it's just a pretty good Die Hard Movie that stars John Cena instead of Bruce Willis. I also recommend Wrong Side of Town just to see Rob Van Dam attempt acting.
positive · AI labelView post →“Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. The John Cena-starring “12 Rounds” is a “Die Hard” movie. (It’s literally “Die Hard with a Vengeance.”) So, what I’m essentially saying is, John Cena is Jesus Christ. (Just check out those initials. C’mon!)

neutral · AI labelView post →12 Rounds (2009) – Review After WWE's film devision allowed John Cena to vault over the top rope and closeline his way into the world of movies, I was curious as to what action vehicle they'd stick him next. After all, his first attempt at being an ass-kicking leading man resulted in the nice-but-dim The Marine, but for his next outing, a boat was pushed out (or sorts) that saw none other than Renny Harlin drafted in to try and riff on some of his past glories. In case you were unaware, Harlin…

neutral · AI labelView post →313 12 Rounds John Cena must have wanted to make his own 'Die Hard With a Vengeance', because this movie is the exact same story. Kinda rules though. Good action! It's not remotely original, but it is a bit of fun. #12Rounds #JohnCena #DieHardWithAVengeance #Action
positive · AI labelView post →I will personally vouch for 12 Rounds being a fun, decent movie with a great villain played by Littlefinger from GOT. And who knew that down the line John Cena would turn into a great comedic actor?
positive · AI labelView post →It's my review of ZERO, which is like Saw VI meets 12 Rounds, with an anti-neocon spin. lytrules.substack.com/p/zero-revie...
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie 12 Rounds reads like it was only able to be filmed because they made the hero a clever, buff, loyal and brave New Orleans city cop. Thus appealing to the real New Orleans who, of course, would need to approve the filming permits.
neutral · AI labelView post →The John Cena action movie 12 Rounds has an interesting bit I rarely see in other action movies. After getting bashed around Cena complains his entire damn body hurts. He doesn't suck it up, he's more than willing to limp around and lean on help. That's positive masculinity on a meta level.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching 12 Rounds. Thought I saw this movie, but then I remembered it was The Marine. Seen Marine 1 & 2. Still not sure if I have any will to watch Marine 3 & 4. Sure not liking The Miz shouldn't stop me from watching a great movie, but still. 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked it better when it had Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper in it Needless to say SPEED (1994) was definitely an inspiration for this movie, to the point that if they'd switch things around just a little bit it could have been a sequel to it. And even though John Cena is better than he usually is in movies, he's just no Keanu (did I say that? Oh yes I did). And Ashley Scott is definitely no Sandra Bullock and furthermore Aidan Gillen no Dennis Hopper. That said, it's not…
