12 Rounds (2009)
6/10
A list of things to like (if you haven't seen a preview; "It's more fun than naked Twister"):
6 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
1)A lawman on foot chases a gold BMW about 27 blocks through a New Orleans slum, reaching an intercept point prior to the car, then hijacking a boat to effect an arrest (the crook should have had a solid American ride, such as a Corvette or Mustang).

2)An international terrorist declares war on plumbers, blowing vehicles and houses to smithereens to do a job on the odd Mario brother.

3)A lawman steals a civilian's car at gunpoint, and sees how fast passers-by can dodge it along sidewalks, when he's not causing multi-car wrecks by running red lights.

4)The hallways surrounding a bank vault at the top of a high-rise apparently are set ablaze, but fearless lawmen and fire fighters barge in with no breathing apparatus, prying out bomb-laden safety deposit boxes with little more than their fingernails.

5)A lawman repels down 12 or so stories to hijack a fire engine, with which he slices civilian vehicles in half left and right so he can reach the Mississippi on the other side of town to throw in a bomb-laden safety deposit box just as it detonates.

6)A lawman leads a obese hotel worker to his doom via an elevator that plunges about 20 floors in an eight-story building.

7)There are further, less circumspect episodes involving a streetcar knifing through a kids' street fair and a medivac helicopter exploding over a pool full of people, but the details itemized above should let you know if this will be your kind of flick!
