Words cannot do this movie enough justice! Seriously, my friends and I watched this movie nearly a decade ago and we still quote it! That's just how much of an impact it made on us back then!After seeing this movie, one of my friends got heavily involved in MMA and even got some shorts with the name "Jake Tyler" on them. He ended up lasting only a few fights in MMA after a serious injury but nonetheless this movie inspired him to train towards his ultimate goal of being an MMA fighter! That's how great and inspirational this movie truly is!To give a quick rundown of what the movie is about, think along the lines of a Disney Channel Original Movie or DCOM if you're up to speed with the hype lingo. Jake - a down-and-out guy - falls in love with Baja - the pretty girl at school - who is dating this mega-MMA fighter (Ryan) at the school. Jake and Ryan become bitter rivals over time due to Baja and they FINALLY settle their feud with an MMA battle. That's all I can tell you though because I don't want to spoil the whole movie for you! Would I recommend this movie? UH DUH, YES OF COURSE. There is a reason I am giving this 10/10 stars. My friends and I LOVE this movie! Please watch this movie!

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.

Typically American popcorn rubbish. Same story done hundreds of times and this time is was worst than the last time. I don't get why they keep making films like this. Teenagers bored so they turn to fighting. One guy gets beaten up so trains with a master and then returns and gets revenge. It's not never revenge as he now has some morals, rubbish!!It's a mix of American pie, karate kid, no retreat no surrender and utter cheese!The whole thing is boring and stupid. If you need to fill in some time watch paint dry, much more entertaining. 3/10 is generous.

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.
