Review of Never Back Down (2008) by Rahul K — 23 May 2010
NBD!!!!!!!!!!!!Never never Back Down! Mix Martial Arts and more mixed Martial Arts. Yeah.
Caught this on Encore Dish network....didn't go to the film. I should have though. This is definitely a rental. I am considering buying the Blu-Ray.
This is a very very unrated film. This film does what those Fast and Furious movies can't, make it cool to get in shape. Get out of your "Tuner car" and into the gym, dudes.
There are 'no names' in this film and that makes it great.
Writer/Director Jeff Wadlow does a great job of pacing in this movie. Sean Faris and Amber Heard cook it up and lay it down. Man Amber works and works it. Put her in Transformers 3!
Bad guy, Cam Gigandet is so good to be so bad. It's rated R Karate Kid even if it's PG-13ish. Djimon Hounsou is a awesome "yoda" for martial arts. I believed he does live for his art. The art of "kicking A....." So take a peek at this one, by the way I am not a fan of "caged fighting.".
From a film perspective this one does the job. Or kicks some Mr.Artocity A....." don't tap out. ".
