12 Rounds: 4/10 stars
Your typical save the girlfriend from the crazy kidnapper movie. Cliche as usual.
Something I didn't like about this movie was that we were supposed to be satisfied at the end of the movie when they make it out alive, which they always do. You are supposed to feel relieved.
Well I didn't feel that way at all. I saw most of the movie, and the main character's best friend got killed, along with at least 2 other cops and maybe even more people. So, those people died, yet I'm supposed to feel great at the end of the film because the main character and his wife lived?
They make it seem like it's okay if other supporting actors die as long as the main ones live. Sorry, just because you are John Cena doesn't make you more important than Brian White. White's life isn't expendable so you can go on and live. You should be mourning his death at the end of the movie because that's what this whole thing cost you, John. Not celebrating and acting like everything's okay.
What I'm saying is I don't like how they expect, me, the viewer, to feel satisfied just because main characters live at the expense of supporting actors.
It was as if they are saying the bachelor who sleeps with a bunch of women (which was Brian White in this movie) is less important than the man who is looking more for monogamy and marriage. I didn't like that. People that are about to get married aren't better than bachelors and bachelorettes.

Trespass: 5/10 stars
It wasn't terrible. Had some twists.
Bad guys break in to a guy's house and have trouble getting what they want because of lot of assumptions and miscommunications.
