Wow! Such a good movie.

Please don't spend money on this.

Nice effects though.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

One of the best movies I have ever seen. I was on YouTube one day and I clicked a video request for this movie I took a look at it and thought it would be cool. I watched it and loved the movie it also teaches you a good message Never Back Down ever this was a great movie I would recommend this movie big time great. I love how Jake looses a fight and trains then takes down Ryan in the end great story great movie great plot great cast just amazing movie. I enjoyed the movie it was a really well put together film. It had really good parts and it instantly became my favorite sport movie of all time it was great and even more this movie was amazing and well put together just what you want in a movie that is worth it.

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.

I actually really enjoyed this movie, It's kind of had feel good movie vibe to it! I know that may sound little odd but I had fun watching this movie. I found the movie flowed really, I wasn't bored for one second, it's wasn't action packed.They had good mix of drama and action blended in really well. The action scenes or fight scenes, what ever you like call them, there were some really good fight scenes in this movie.I liked the fight scenes were not to quick and it's wasn't to long, so don't get bored with fight. I enjoyed the whole start to the end of the movie, the acting was great from the whole cast! (I had no idea there a sequel) 7 out of 10 Really good movie.

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.
