Trivia:

In the final scene loading the coffin, the aircraft in the hangar, N246DH, is an SA-227 Sweringen Metroliner. Although the logo is not shown, this aircraft is owned and operated by Ameriflight, Inc., an all-cargo company based in Burbank, CA. This particular aircraft is the high gross weight Expediter version and was previously owned by DHL International (Note the DH in the tail number). It was originally white, black and maroon, DHL's colors at the time, before being repainted in the white and two-tone blue colors of Ameriflight in the late 90's.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: At the first of the movie when Alvaro Cardona, Maria Cardona ant their son are walking through the street markets the bomb explodes at the USA Boot company. When you see the explosion hit Alvaro Cardona and their son you can clearly see those two are mannequins and the rest of the people caught in the explosion are real people.

Quotes:

Columbian Soldier: All you Americans think you're Rambo!
Chief Carter Holt: Actually, I prefer John McClane.

farther besmirches the name of the original Behind Enemy Lines

Two navy seals (Joe Manganiello & Mr. Kennedy) who, along with three others, have been sent to investigate some shady deals in Colombia have to rescue one of their own after he's captured by terrorists in an ambush, as well as avenge two other fellow seals who've died in the same raid. If that's not bad enough Colombian officials have blaming them for the killings (and the CIA isn't arguing).

Yet another brain numbing, badly acted, action-oriented WWE film hoping to propel one of their wrestlers into stardom utterly fails. The action is marginally all right at best, but the script itself is lacking. The first Behind Enemy Lines was a fun, decent watch, the second was a muddled disaster, this one is much more the latter than the former. And as much as I truly want to say that I'll avoid WWE films from now on (which is understandable), I'm still going to watch 12 Rounds if only for my fondness of Director Renny Harlin. So when I think I'm out, they pull me right back in.

My Grade: D-

DVD Extras: Commentary by Director Tim Matheson, and actors Jom Manganiello & Mr. Kennedy; Second commentary by IGN Fans; 6 featurettes with a play all option (running 38 minutes in total); and trailers for "Babylon AD", "X-files: I want to believe", "Joy Ride 2" & "the Betrayed"
