12 Rounds is a 2009 American action film directed by Renny Harlin and produced by WWE Studios.[4] The cast is led by John Cena,[5] alongside Aidan Gillen, Steve Harris, Gonzalo Menendez, Brian J. White, Ashley Scott, and Taylor Cole.[6] The film was released to theaters in the United States on March 27, 2009.[4] The film received generally negative reviews.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
A sting operation to capture arms dealer Miles Jackson goes awry when the FBI's inside man double crosses them. Miles escapes with his girlfriend Erica Kessen in a getaway car. Officers Danny Fisher and Hank Carver help the FBI. They find a surveillance video of Miles dancing with Kessen. A subsequent encounter at a traffic light leads to her death and Miles being taken away. Miles swears vengeance on Fisher.
One year later, Miles escapes from prison and calls Fisher, who is now a Detective. Fisher is injured when his car and house explode. After recovery, Jackson challenges Fisher to participate in a game of revenge called "12 Rounds". The explosions were "Round 1". Fisher's girlfriend Molly is kidnapped in "Round 2". For "Round 3", Fisher follows clues to locate the cell phone. The next round requires Fisher to go to New Orleans Savings and Loans where he extracts two security deposit boxes within 20 minutes amidst an active fire.
Fisher ultimately understands that the rounds were rigged from the start. The inevitable death in an elevator was also orchestrated by Jackson. All events turn out to be connected. They figure out that Jackson was leading them to take out the power because Homewood Security comes in to move the federally unprotected cash from the United States Mint in New Orleans. Jackson's grudge against Fisher was only a cover for his scheme to steal this money.
Fisher realizes that "Round 12" is a wild-goose chase. Jackson, dressed as a security guard, steals the cash. He uses Porter's ID card to get to a Medevac chopper on a hospital roof, transporting the money inside a body bag. Fisher and Aiken race to the hospital roof, where Aiken is wounded. Jackson activates the touch phone-bomb and throws the switch away. Porter and Fisher jump into a pool, while Jackson is left in the exploding helicopter. The movie ends with Danny and Molly leaving, with Molly wanting to go home, but Danny tells her about what happened to it.
The score of 12 Rounds was composed by Trevor Rabin, who had previously worked with director Renny Harlin on Deep Blue Sea and Exorcist: The Beginning. He recorded his score with the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Studios.[13]
Rob Nelson of Variety wrote that the film is heavy on stunts but light on plausibility, humor, surprise, visual ingenuity or psychological depth.[11] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club called the film "honest trash: it never pretends to be anything other than manic schlock" and gave it a grade C+.[12]
So, as you can already imagine, the interview and hiring process at the company is challenging and rigorous. Like many tech interviews these days, the Netflix interview process involves several rounds.
The hiring team must make a unanimous decision if they want to hire you. Therefore, you must do your best in every single interview round, as any of them could make or break your candidacy.
Prior to this phone call, your recruiter will share the Netflix Core Values with you. We cannot emphasize it enough: if you want any chance of receiving a job offer from Netflix, you must closely study these core values. Netflix places significant weight on the culture fit of their candidates, much more so than other comparable tech companies.
Round 1 consists of 5 individual interviews. Four of these interviews are technical rounds and will be like the technical screening completed earlier (technical questions evaluating your technical skills).
Many candidates at Netflix also report that they needed to field brain teaser questions, officially referred to as estimation interview questions. These types of interview questions were once commonplace at many Big Tech companies, but have since lost much of their popularity.
For example, a software engineer candidate may do well on their technical interview questions and potentially be, in virtue of their technical skills, a solid addition to an engineering team. However, perhaps they came across as a very opinionated coworker to HR. In this case, the candidate may not get the job because of the concern about not fitting in with Netflix culture.
Round 2 typically involves three of so interviews conducted by a member of HR, your hiring manager, and another engineering manager. You can expect these meetings to be less technically focused (besides the interview with the engineering manager), but they are no less important. The Round 2 on-sites are even more critical to ace considering they are highly focused on culture fit and behavioral interview questions.
There actually has been a very good, Emmy award-winning NASCAR Netflix show made about Bubba Wallace (Race: Bubba Wallace), the first black driver to win an elite level stock race in almost six decades. This series takes the wider approach.
Instead of taking a holistic view of the championship and its culture as a whole, the new series focuses on the NASCAR Playoff rounds, a tranche of knockout races which eventually leaves four drivers vying for the title at the final event of the year.
However more explanation is needed at the start, where a barrage of specialist language which comes in quickly might be a bit much for some. What is the Cup series? What are late models? Or sprint cars? The viewer is largely none the wiser.
Bubba Wallace did the same to Kyle Larson in 2022 and was also banned. His redemption story is wrapped up in being the first black driver to win a top tier NASCAR race in 60 years (in 2021), in a sport historically riven with racism. Is that mentioned? Nope!
Firstly, at the risk of sounding unbearably F1 centric, the characters. Lewis Hamilton is a global icon who transcends not only his own discipline but sport in general, while Fernando Alonso and Kimi Rikknen have been around long that they were still reasonably well known.
He was the calm conductor of Red Bull's precise F1 teamwork. Now Jonathan Wheatley has been announced as the new team principal of Audi's grand prix team. Here's everything you need to know about the former mechanic turned boss
George Russell's disqualification from the 2024 Belgian GP showed there's no leeway when it comes to F1 weight limits. As Mark Hughes recalls, it's been that way since the shenanigans of 1982 which were tinged with tragedy
In her book "The Talented Mr. Ripley," Highsmith introduced us to an unprepossessing young man, an unreliable narrator, a failed actor struggling to subsist in Manhattan by any means necessary, getting by by running petty swindles and confidence games.
Out of the blue, he's thrown a lifeline by a shipping magnate, Herbert Greenleaf, who mistakenly believes Ripley is a good friend of his unfocused son Dickie, who has been dawdling his life away in Italy. Herbert wants Ripley to go to Italy and convince Dickie to return home and join the family business. While Ripley isn't a great friend of Dickie's -- he barely remembers meeting him -- he agrees to travel to Italy on the old man's dime.
When he arrives in the Amalfi Coast town of Mongibello (modeled on the actual city of Positano; the current Netflix series "Ripley" is set and largely shot in Atrani, six or so miles to the east), Ripley contrives to run into Dickie -- who doesn't quite remember him either -- and his girlfriend, Marge. Soon Dickie has invited Ripley -- whom he assumes is of similar background to himself -- to live with him in his villa. (The villa in the Netflix series is an airbnb on the isle of Capri, a 2 hour ferry ride from Atrani.)
Initially Dickie and Ripley get along great, in large part because Dickie is flattered by Ripley's attention. But things get awkward when Dickie realizes Ripley has developed an obsession, not just with him, but with becoming him. What ensues is a dark story of identity theft and murder in which Highsmith performs a neat trick. Ripley, awkward, mediocre and not very good-looking, enlists the empathy of readers. We understand his motivations and root for him to succeed.
It's not so much that we love Ripley. We don't. His skills -- his talents -- are modest. He is a capable forger and a willing smuggler. He is a quick study who reads people well, has an ear for accents and languages, and can maintain his composure under pressure. Superficially he's charming, but it's a veneer that rubs off after a while.
People get tired of Ripley; sooner or later they begin to perceive him as obsequious and insecure. Ripley knows this -- he has a knack for sensing when he's pushed too hard. He understands when he's exhausted Dickie's patience.
What we find compelling about Ripley is that we recognize a version of ourselves in him that struggles to maintain appearances and aspires to finer things. It's the part of us that lets the rest of us down, the weak part that caves to temptation, that covets and takes shortcuts, a misbegotten human germ at the core of us all.
Some people don't like the character; some people profess to be repulsed by him. But at some level we understand him, even if we find his amorality and willingness to hurt others disgusting. A measure of self-loathing is inherent is Ripley's character; anyone who understands what it is like to feel like an imposter might relate to Ripley.
But there's a difference between feeling like an imposter, which a lot of us do from time to time, and being an imposter, which is arguably Ripley's entire life. Highsmith doesn't really give us a lot of background on the character; we know he's an orphan, raised by a parsimonious and resentful aunt who's always willing to tell him what a burden he has been.
