Heavy on stunts but light on plausibility, humor, surprise, visual ingenuity or psychological depth.

There's a decent little action movie somewhere inside '12 Rounds': a bit more complexity of character, a few more jokes and a hero who doesn't look like a two-by-four with a buzz cut might have gone a long way.
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Rotten
A graceless scrap between a Die Hard flick and the public-transportation mayhem of Speed.
Drew Toal, Time Out New York
Rotten
12 Rounds is an occasionally exciting but always empty action movie experience.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
12 Rounds is the unholy stepchild of Die Hard with a Vengeance and Speed, starring a man whose lack of range makes Steven Seagal seem nuanced by comparison.
