John Cena kicks butt in '12 Rounds' trailer
WWE Studios returns to the big screen with "12 Rounds," a new action spectacle starring wrestling superstar John Cena as a badass detective kicking butt.
Here's what the flick is about:
Detective Danny Baxter (Cena) discovers his girlfriend (Ashley Scott) has been kidnapped by a ex-con tied to Baxter's past, and he'll have to successfully complete 12 challenges in order to secure her safe release.
If you like the stuff the WWE has been producing over the past years, you'll probably enjoy "12 Rounds" as well. In other words, if you like watching brainless action flicks about a wrestler battling bad boys, this one's for you.
That said, "12 Rounds" sounds almost EXACTLY like Cena's previous acting effort "The Marine." In the latter, he played a recently discharged marine who goes on a chase through the South Carolinian wilderness to retrieve his kidnapped wife.
"12 Rounds" will open everywhere March 27, 2009. The film is directed by Renny Harlin, whose credits include "Cliffhanger," "Die Hard 2," and the crappy "Mindhunters." Oh yeah, he also helmed "Deep Blue Sea."
