Cuando Fisher impide que un renombrado ladrón, Miles, después de haber dado un golpe, se escape con un botín de varios millones de dólares, la novia del delincuente muere de forma accidental. Tras haberse evadido de la cárcel, tan privilegiada mente criminal pone en escena su venganza, escarneciendo a Danny, haciéndole víctima de una serie de trabajos y sometiéndole a unos enigmas de solución casi imposible a 12 trampas que Danny debe superar de algún modo si quiere salvar su vida y la de su novia. Cada trampa, que puede consistir en una prueba de inteligencia o en otra de resistencia digna de Sísifo, mantiene a Danny presa del desconcierto en todo momento, llevando al resuelto detective de un extremo a otro de la ciudad a velocidad de vértigo. Automóviles, tranvías y transbordadores se convierten en posibles armas de destrucción masiva. A medida que va creciendo la violencia de las trampas, un paso en falso puede aproximar a los contendientes a un fatal desenlace de su enfrentamiento. (20th Century Fox España)

I would actually quite like this if it went further and was a bit more intense. There is, however, a fairly interesting idea here, that the main hero, played by wrestler John Cena, has to complete certain tasks to save the woman he loves. It's not incredibly original, but it has a good concept and Cena is surprisingly good. A modern action film? Why not, it just needs a bit more violence.

All I wanted was an ordinary unpretentious action movie that could entertain me (or at least not bore me), and I didn't even get that. Man, this was stupid! The director of the great Die Hard 2 made a stupid clone of Die Hard 3. Crap! And that “actor” in the main role…

It’s very pleasant while you’re watching it. But those impressions dissipated before I could think of a comment to write. Harlin is still a class act and can really get by with very little. He gives the frantic running around the city incredible flexibility and dynamism, which is captured by the restless camera and everything is skillfully edited. The screenplay plays into the director’s hands with imaginative action and solid suspense. Unfortunately, it's a bland mix of everything we like (and don't like) in action movies, and thus one’s final impression is spoiled by a strong degree of predictability. It’s too bad because even John Cena was watchable. It seems like WWE has clearly finally found the right way to dust off the classics. 3 ½.
