12 Rounds is a 2009 American action film directed by Renny Harlin and produced by WWE Studios.

[4] The cast is led by John Cena,[5] alongside Aidan Gillen, Steve Harris, Gonzalo Menendez, Brian J.

[7][8][9][10][11][12] A sting operation to capture arms dealer Miles Jackson goes awry when the FBI's inside man double crosses them.

The next round requires Fisher to go to New Orleans Savings and Loans where he extracts two security deposit boxes within 20 minutes amidst an active fire.

They figure out that Jackson was leading them to take out the power because Homewood Security comes in to move the federally unprotected cash from the United States Mint in New Orleans.

He uses Porter's ID card to get to a Medevac chopper on a hospital roof, transporting the money inside a body bag.

The score of 12 Rounds was composed by Trevor Rabin, who had previously worked with director Renny Harlin on Deep Blue Sea and Exorcist: The Beginning.

The site's consensus reads: "Energetic but empty, 12 Rounds' preposterous plot hurtles along at a rapid pace, but can't disguise the derivative script".

[10] Rob Nelson of Variety wrote that the film is heavy on stunts but light on plausibility, humor, surprise, visual ingenuity or psychological depth.

Club called the film "honest trash: it never pretends to be anything other than manic schlock" and gave it a grade C+.

[12] 12 Rounds was released on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and UMD with an unrated "Extreme Cut" of the film on June 30, 2009.
