    12 Rounds is an action-packed thriller that drives a detective relentlessly through the streets of New Orleans in answer to 12 bizarre punishment rituals that look like devil’s challenges.
    The detective played by John Cena has his hands tied. The challenges emanate from an internationally known terrorist who has kidnapped his girl friend and is holding her hostage to wreck vengeance on Cena. Cena has to continue playing every daredevil game he has been asked to play, juggling courage, fear, risk, time, and every other factor that action thrillers are required to throw into the ring.
    The movie suffers from a surfeit of stunts. And the stunts are some sort of travesty of daredevilry, and might disappoint even stunt lovers. A sample stunt is one that involves driving a fire truck across the city and bulldozing property. His adventures around a brakeless car and the medical helicopter are the only ones that give some respite.
    Kidnapped girlfriends seem to be Cena’s routine cross, the way he was seen caught in a similar situation in his earlier movie ‘The Marine’ as well.
