	Author	Review
United States	Nathan Lee The New York Times	"There are, as you may have guessed, 12 rounds of this arbitrary nonsense. Annoying as the conceit may be, it neatly functions as a means to gauge how much is left to endure."	NEG
United Kingdom	Genevieve Harrison Empire	"Derivative it may be, but with its echoes of 'Speed', 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Die Hard With A Vengeance', this is a welcome throwback for audiences raised on ’90s action flicks — what they used to call 'a pulse-pounding roller-coaster thrill-ride of a movie.' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)."	POS
United States	Rob Nelson Variety	"Heavy on stunts but light on plausibility, humor, surprise, visual ingenuity or psychological depth helmer"	NEG
United States	Roger Moore Chicago Tribune	"'12 Rounds' is an occasionally exciting but always empty experience"	NEG
United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"You will probably find yourself praying for this duel's knock-out punch to arrive long before it actually does."	NEU
