If WWE made a 4th installment of 12 Rounds, Finn Balor should be in it with Jesy Nelson as his opposite.

Fighting With My Family
Fighting with my Family follows the life of former wrestler Saraya Knight, most commonly known as Paige from WWE. The movie follows Paige as she trains and performs with her family – eventually leading to try-outs and training with NXT/WWE.
As a fan of WWE and Paige, I was really excited to see the movie – despite not knowing much about Paige’s early beginnings other than what I learned through her on Total Divas, it was memorizing watching her life unfold on the big screen.
Saraya/Paige is played wonderfully by Florence Pugh, she embodied Paige in such an incredible way – with her skill in wrestling and not to mention her charisma, first as the slightly unlikable to Saraya to the challenging and strong-willed Paige. I’m excited to see more of Florence’s career unfold in the future.
Other performances that were outstanding were Jack Lowden as Zak Knight (Paige’s brother) who sadly gets rejected from wwe try-outs. His heartbreaking journey of watching his sister take his dream, while living with the disappointment in himself is extraordinary. I can’t imagine how the real Zak would’ve truly felt – but Jack in the role did a wonderful job.
Lena Headey and Nick Frost as Julia and Ricky Knight was perfect casting. They have such a wonderful chemistry together, that made the relationship so believable. I have seen a lot of scenes of the real Paige and Julia together on Total Divas, and Lena did a brilliant job bringing her and their relationship to Hollywood.
Dwayne Johnson and Vince Vaughn – bring the tougher side of the wrestling business to light while also bringing even more comedic effect into it. I can’t find any faults with the film and I really enjoyed it.
If you are a fan of WWE I highly recommend checking it out!
12 Rounds 3: Lockdown (2015)
Genre: Action
Who’s In It: Jonathan Good, Roger Cross, Ty Olsson, Lochlyn Munro, Rebecca Marshall
Who Directed It: Stephen Reynolds
Plot: Upon returning to work after recovering from an injury, a police officer discovers and attempts to turn in incriminating evidence of illegal activities against his fellow cops.
Running Time: 90 Minutes
IMDB Score: 5.3
Why I Watched It: I’m a wrestling fan and a B-Movie fan so these kinds of movies are right in my wheelhouse.
How I Watched It: Amazon Prime Canada
Random Thoughts: Let’s get right to the name thing, so on the poster it’s Dean Ambrose, on IMDB he’s credited as Jonathon Good, so his WWE name is/was Dean Ambrose his real name is Jonathon Good and his other wrestling name or non WWE name is Jon Moxley, and right now Moxley is one of the hottest wrestlers not in WWE.
Now let’s tackle 12 Rounds this is the third movie and all three have had different leads, all WWE wrestlers and the movies have nothing in common but the 12 rounds gimmick, this one it’s the fact the good guy only has 12 rounds in his gun, now why he doesn’t pick up another gun from guys he kills is a dumb question cause then we’d have to change the title of the franchise.
What I Liked: This is a B-Movie through and through, simple but dumb set up and it’s all about the action and the twists, now this is the first 12 Rounds movie to go the Die Hard knock off route not complaining but it doesn’t work that well.
The action is fine and the cast is capable, I enjoyed Roger Cross as a very bad guy, he’s real good, he’s such an underrated actor and he’s a very good bad guy, he carries the film everyone else is by the numbers.
The film moves pretty well the 90 minutes go by pretty quick, it takes a bit to get into the setup but once we do it keeps moving. The twists and turns are decent they keep you from getting bored.
What I Didn’t Like: I really like Dean Ambrose/Moxley as a wrestler as an actor he was alright but not a natural, a little stiff, he was better at the action stuff but he made a bland hero.
The plot is beyond dumb, using a police station as a Die Hard location makes little sense. The bad guys who are bad cops lock down the building but go looking for Ambrose, he has no hostages, so wouldn’t the chief say alright guys come out and he’s in there alone. Of course almost everyone has to do the dumbest things to keep the plot going and yes there’s a couple of turns but beyond Cross no one is really fleshed out as a character, I will say that the tension between Ambrose and Cross is decent and they have a decent backstory but we know little else about our lead character.
Even though the movie moves well and they keep your attention with the action it’s clear this should have ended sooner, there’s a lot of action padding here and bad guys talking to each other.
Final Thoughts: It’s an alright straight to DVD action film, not great but if you’re an Ambrose/Moxley fan it’s worth a watch.
Rating: 5/10
