12 Rounds 2: Reloaded Review

Nick Malloy portrays an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) who finds himself caught in a deadly 12-round game of cat and mouse with a vigilante tied to the paramedic’s past. With little time to spare and his wife’s life hanging in the balance, the EMT must figure out why he’s been chosen to be the pawn in this maniac’s game before it’s too late. 





I enjoyed this movie even tho I have not seen the first one. I hate watching movies where you are already halfway through and the action JUST started, but in this one its not the case.The action starts within the first 20 minutes of the movie.


Its a great action packed movie that I think many will enjoy. But I found that it does get a little predictable after round 7, but still watchable. 

One thing I do not agree with, is that the film is rated PG-13 (14 for Canada). I understand PG-13 means Violence and language as well as some nudity (perhaps a glimpse of breast or a woman in her underwear and bra) but there was a good few minutes of an actual sex scene, where you could CLEARLY see exatly what was going on.  now to my understanding, a PG-13 movie is not supposed to have this kind of intense nudity in it.  Actually this is directly from the MPAA website: “More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented.” You can view this information here: http://www.mpaa.org/ratings/what-each-rating-means

Its a good thing that my kids were not in the room while we were watching, as it could of ended up with us HAVING to explain to them what the man and woman were doing. 


Before watching this film, make sure your children are old enough to understand what is going on OR watch it when they are in  bed. I don’t know ANYONE who would let their child 16 and under watch a film with the intense nudity as there was in this film.  I really think it should of been rated R.


now with the PG rating aside, I give this movie 3/4
