adonis98-743-186503 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.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I watched part two first, as I didn't have part one at the time, but I managed to stumble across it in the second hand DVD store where I get my movie fix. And now having seen part one, I must say that I am not amused. Part one and two were essentially one and the same movie; an underdog trains for a bit more than a month and progresses to win martial arts competitions against those who have trained their whole lives. Yeah, very plausible.A young college kid named Jake moves to a new location after he was thrown off of the football team for fighting. Here he meets a beautiful girl who turns out to be the girlfriend of the local beatdown champion (what are the odds?). And this spurs an inevitable fight. But with no chance of winning, Jake seeks training at a local gym.The entire movie was one big cliché, and it was so predictable that you have the entire story figured out from the very start.If you have seen part one, then you have essentially also already seen part two, and vice versa. At least there is hope for improvement in the upcoming third movie, as they got Thai action stars Tony Jaa and JeeJa Yanin on the cast list."Never Back Down" is not the brightest moment in the cinema history, but it is entertaining enough for what it is; a mediocre and predictable action movie.

nizzledee I would give it a 6 1/2 to a 7. The acting was convincing and i thoroughly enjoyed this movie, Cam Gigadet did an amazing job on playing the bad boy, it seemed really well acted and it wasn't annoying either. Only a few could pull it off. he just has that look about him. I would have liked a better behind story for the bad boy Ryan, and a bit more insight on Amber Heard's character. it seems almost odd how Ryan doesn't mention once that Amber heard character goes with Jake, it doesn't come up once.They should have done a sequel with this exact cast. overall good movie and enjoyed it. I reckon Cam should be more in these types of movies because he is good at acting as these kind of people. If i wrote the script i would have made it just a bit better, the acting was superb though! i do not understand why people always say this movie was not that good, it was well choreographed.

ikeybabe Never an original moment...Never great acting...Never again. This movie was so predictable from the very start to the end. It was a slightly older "Karate Kid" kind of flick. The main character was such an easy target. The antagonist may as well have called the main character "chicken." That was enough to bait him into a fight. Amber Heard's character was the usual ridiculous blonde chick love interest who is so vapid you could practically see "vacancy" signs behind her eyes. Djimon Hounsou is usually cool to watch, but his Mr. Miyagi was lacking and that whole story line of how this kid teaches him to re-connect to his family was utterly ridiculous. The only redeeming parts to this film were the fight scenes, even though they were heavily choreographed and had the typical hero- gets-beat-up-throughout-the-fight-and-despite-his-many- injuries wins in the end theme. So, there ya go.
