Renny Harlin Renny Harlin

is a director who is not up to the bad reputation it has among a certain sector of moviegoers, there are such; Die Hard 2 (Die Hard 2 , 1990), The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, 1990), Maximum Risk (Cliffhanger, 1993) or Memory Lethal (The Long Kiss Goodnight 1996) , demonstrating that Finn knew how to make movies during the nineties, a time when even his weakest work, failing to beat them back out to see how time has treated them as Deep Blue Sea (ditto, 1999) or The Cutthroat Island (Cutthroat Island, 1995) were not without their moments of interest.

While it is true that in the last decade seems to have been burned and has gone from being a director of study more or less competent to crush rolling whatever it takes for your wages without the slightest embarrassment; see such clunkers as The Covenant (The Covenant, 2006) or The Exorcist: the Beginning (Exorcist: The Beginning, 2004) .

12 Rounds, had elements that made us dream of a better return Harlin, that that was very briefly at forgettable as distracted as Hunters minds (Mindhunters, 2004) , first because the script no longer a blatant plagiarism Die Hard: Vengeance (Die Hard: With a Vengeance, 1995) and secondly because the same Harlin worked on the production with his company Midnight Sun Pictures with the WWE which in principle to hold me hope for a freer creative and a return to classic style action would result in a rise in the quality of your movie.

Unfortunately not.

Being objective must be said that Harlin puts forward the action scenes, wheel without abusing the computer generated effects and quick assembly, which is appreciated in these times, and causes some sequences like the tram or the pursuit of principle handheld (Bourne's shadow is long) set to shine in a clearly unsatisfactory, sinking mainly by three factors, first the meager budget, 20 million dollars, which did not allow for much light note that Die Hard 2 already cost 70 million twenty years ago.


Second the script from newcomer Daniel Kunka where there is no catch, we note that was on sale, nothing in the whole film a single dialogue or any trap which proposes the villain role worth remembering.

In an interesting idea as a starting point in history, with a bad reminiscent of Willy Toledo (how I hate you ...) that could have been speaking metaphorically about the tests we face to keep alive intimate relationships when they appear third parties will not be removed or some juice, merely in and outs of the thing to send the hero from one side to another of the city but not having the charisma and urgency of John McClane in the third part of the Die Hard and topped everything with some references to some exciting panorama of New Orleans post Katrina.


One thing I liked about the script and is something that has little to do with the 12 traps that must overcome the protagonist, the sequence in which the detective Fisher is up in the morning and have to put up a fight for his girlfriend for not changing the water tap, which culminates with one of those looks of "I'm not okay" you know how to release the women, yes that is proof that we put our kids daily to save a relationship and the rest is nonsense.


And finally to finish the good intentions of blowing up is the casting director who seems made for the worst enemy of the production, starting with John Cena, a completely anticarismático who reveals himself unable to bear the weight of a movie, something made by Harlin and his editor have to insert images from Molly every time the protagonist fears for his girlfriend and that Cena is unable to convey to the public absolutely no emotion at his side second packages as Steve Harris or Brian J. White to look good actors and all ... well no, the truth is that cantazo give that ends up ruining any aspirations of the poor Renny Harlin to turn 12 Rounds in a product that is something more than a passable entertainment, something that at least if it is.
