Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This one was one my favourite movies in my teenage years. It completely resembles the thoughts that go through a teenager's head, jealousy, anger, self doubt, hate. I would like to label this movie as the modern Karate Kid because it really works that way, only with Martial Arts instead of Karate, plus the violence is way more intense. It really deservers more fame and respect that in got in it's prime, but at least we got a sequel, so that is enough to be happy about it's succes. The actors are all well chosen, especially the main guy and the antagonist who has the most negative face you could see in a negative role. All in all, at least 7/10

Never Back Down stars Sean Faris, Djimon Hounsou, Cam Gigandet, Evan Peters and Amber Heard. Now the story is pretty simple A frustrated and conflicted teenager arrives at a new high school to discover an underground fight club and meet a classmate who begins to coerce him into fighting. You know what to except from a movie like this some really good fight sequences and a really great soundtrack and i think the acting was fine not over the top but also not bad or anything. It's no Undisputed or Rocky but is way better than what the reviews are saying and it has it's audience that's for sure because it's something that mostly men will enjoy and definitely some women too it's a great movie you will have fun with it and the soundtrack and the fight scenes are awesome.

Never Back Down reminds me of a Disney Channel Movie back in days of Brink and Johnny Tsunami. It has simple characters and doesn't really have too many surprises. That being said the movie is well written and has a classic plot. Plain and simple, it's just light hearted good watch. Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) is a kid troubled by the death of his father. After moving to a new town the local tough guy (Cam Gigandet) picks him to be his latest person to beat up on. The thing to do in this town is being into UFC/MMA and participating in the low key fight club.If you're looking for some time to kill or your looking for a simple yet enjoyable movie check this out. The three reasons to are: entertaining story, decent acting for a small movie (with a small part from Dijon Hounsou), and a good motivational message.

As a big fan of the early 90's martial arts movies featuring such greats as Jean Claude Van Damme, Jeff Wincott, and Michael Worth etc, there doesn't seem to many great martial arts movies out there at the moment that really gets the blood pumping. There seems to be more focus on CGI, wire work and speed manipulation than some good old fight choreography - (with exception of the Undisputed series, and Blood and Bone - both of which were awesome).That brings us to this movie. This gave me the same feeling I had as a child when I watched Karate Kid, and No Retreat No Surrender. The script is quite formulaic but everyone plays there parts exceptionally well. Sean Faris is a great lead, and plays off well against Cam Gigandet, both come in great shape for this film with Gigandet looking like he may have focused strongly on calisthenics (looks strong and functional).The fight scenes are awesome, the acting is spot on, and the soundtrack does nothing to harm the film.Overall if you like martial art films, then you should really check this out. Great film. One of only a few films that I can happily watch many times. 10/10.
