I thought it was pretty unrealistic. Dean didn't go for a single rebound clothesline. He didn't even lose in the end like he does in real life.

Vendetta was more brutal at points than I expected. It earned its R. I could have loved it but it just horribly failed it's own characters. Their motivations are all over the place. HUGE, RANTING SPOILER THAT WILL RUIN THE FIRST HALF OF THE MOVIE UPCOMING:{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} I was cool with the beginning but I turned on the movie hard when Dean Cain goes to jail and sits down and has a polite, albeit tense, conversation with Big Show in the prison cafeteria. This one moronic moment downright ruined any chance I had of loving this movie.
Tell me if this sequence of events makes sense to you...
-Dean Cain is a newlywed cop.
-Big Show and Show's brother are evil, hardened criminals.
-Dean Cain arrests Big Show and his Brother
-They get out on a technicality
-Big Show brutally beats Dean Cain's wife to death with his bare hands, with Cain catching show standing over his wife in a pool of her blood
-Big Show goes to prison
-Dean Cain goes f***ing mental, shoots Big Show's brother in the head and goes to prison, presumably to get revenge on Show.
-Day one for Cain in prison, Big Show walks up to him in the cafeteria and sits down in front of him and they proceed to have a conversation...
I can understand Dean not shooting Show when he found him standing over his dead wife since there were others around but if he was just going to kill Show's brother and end up in prison anyway why the hell didn't he just shoot Show?
The unforgivable bit though was that conversation in the cafeteria. You don't just allow the guy who did that to your wife to sit down in front of you and talk, especially when you put yourself in prison just to get revenge on him. Wait what? {Spoiler}Do they even explain why Dean Cain would be put in the same prison as the guy whose brother he killed, and who also murdered his wife? And to top it off he's a cop. Don't tell me they also put both of them in gen pop.
I can suspend disbelief, but if there's not even one tiny bit of explanation that's just wrong.

See No Evil 2 was entertaining. Other than that, I've only seen The Marine and See No Evil at the time.

I actually think changing the meaning of 12 Rounds is pretty dang clever

Jedi-El of Tomorrow I didn't even bother to argue that point because I filed it under "rule of cool". That is until the events I described happened, then it turned into complete crap. Not that the movie isn't worth a watch, it has it's cool parts, just be forewarned you're going to be forced to suspend so much disbelief that your "bullshit" meter might crack. But yeah, for your question they actually do acknowledge it: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} The prison has an evil warden who specifically pulled strings to get Dean Cain in there. The reasons why he pulled the strings are absolutely moronic, but there you go.

I heard WWE secured the rights to put Cameron in a sequel to Gone Girl called Girl Bye.

The most recent one that I had watched was The Marine 4, by which I was entertained. I would not call the movie GOOD, because the story was something that I had seen before, with tropes that I have also seen before, like the two protagonists who could not get along at first. Of course, it was refreshing to see the main girl not be a love interest to Miz's character, but of course it was cliche to see that they were able to trust one another and come around later on.
As for the action, I enjoyed it. It was actually more violent than the other three films. I had only seen the third film once, but I may need to revisit that one. I thought that one was just "eh," as I had more fun with the fourth film.
I feel like I want to check out the new 12 Rounds film, but from what I had noticed, and also what others have pointed out, it is not like the other two. Not that there is much connection with the sequels, except for the last two Marine films. However, it seems like a run-of-the-mill action film with someone who only has 12 rounds in a gun, as opposed to playing a game of 12 Rounds like the other two. I did enjoy the one with Orton, though, despite some problems.
I am really curious about how the next Condemned movie will play out. The people behind it in the first are dead. Could the person who might start it up again have been an apprentice to the villain of the first film?

The dirtbag in me wants a WWE remake of "Blue is the warmest colour" starring Sasha Banks & Alexa Bliss You can count on that happening in 2024 right around the time Rebecca Black, and Miranda Sings guest host Raw
