Review of Never Back Down (2008) by Jourdan C — 19 Sep 2009
I'll admit, I thought it was better than I thought, but I think it's because my expectations for this film was really low. The problem with this film lies similar to other sport movies where you have a loser who becomes an underdog who becomes a champ in a matter of seconds.
If only it were that easy to become a pro-MMA fighter or any other athlete and have all the women (who are all sexy looking and easy) come drooling and crawling all over you. I also do not like how the film promotes the use of violence through MMA.
However, as a MMA fanatic, there were some nice fights, kick ass submissions and KOs, and watching a Tom Cruise look-a-like getting his ass kicked (for most of the time that is), I guess it can be entertaining for some.
