If you take the martial arts classics of "Karate Kid" and "No Retreat No Surrender" and add some Beverly Hills / Fight Club ingredients - the outcome would be this movie. A fast flowing, punch, block, submit and kick, quick thinking adrenaline rush movie.
In my opinion there aren't enough of these movies. The majority of recent martial arts movies have overpaid Hollywood actors or an abundance of high wire CGI effect ridden pieces, that look good and are excellent films in their own right - but it's so nice to see a movie that looks really good, contains some excellent choreographed fight scenes and has some upcoming stars.
The story sees Jake Tyler (Faris), American football all-star who has anger issues in consequence to the death of his father. He moves house with his family and joins a new school where his past American football exploits are discovered and he's tricked into a martial arts fight contest with Ryan McCarthy (Gigandet). It's a high-flyer world of huge mansions, flashy cars, and gorgeous girls but Tyler seeks refuge and support in a local martial arts club run by Jean Roqua (Hounsou) and begins to train to become the best he can be.
Beyond the adrenaline rush of training, sparring and learning techniques this movie touches on the emotional side of blame and disappointment, pride and friendship and more than anything - determination.
Excellent mixed martial arts movie, that has an awe-inspiring soundtrack and definitely, when it comes to the fighting sequences, this hits the mark.

Ok.. I'll not spoil it for those who wish to watch the film, but the whole moral debate becomes farcical very quickly. The guy whos supposed to be the main protagonist ends up with the same qualities / morals of the main "villain". Basically taking his role in the film. Maybe this is intentional. I dont know. Nice rolling knee bar though.
This film is out of this world!!!!!!!!!! August 25, 2008

I highly recommend this film to you. There are some great fight scenes, especially the end fight between the two main characters played by Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet. The acting is also very good, especially from one of my favourite actors, Djimon Hounsou, who plays the part of a MMA instructor.
Never Back Down is THE film to see!!!!
Instant Classic!!!!!! August 27, 2008
