Watch Never Back Down For Free

Touches You

Redundant and unnecessary.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Jack Taylor, a guy with a really bad temper who picks up fights very easily moves with his family to Orlando to start a new life. After making sensation on the internet and of course at his school with his latest fight, Jack gets invited to a party where he gets provoked to a fight by local champion Ryan. Unable to resist temptation he accepts but unfortunately for him, a great humiliation is about to begin. Eager to redeem himself in front of everybody and especially Baja (his wannabe girlfriend), he seeks help from a mixed martial arts veteran (trainer at a local gym), hoping to defeat his opponent in an important competition called Beatdown.It's all about never backing down (as the title suggests), struggling to reach your goal, learning to control your temper, your nerves and your thirst for revenge in critical situations, which can represent the difference between life and death. The story isn't as put together as I hoped, even predictable most of the time, the producers being more concentrated on the fights rather than on the actual plot. It leaves you with the feeling that it could have been better if all the aspects of the movie had received equal attention. It's quite a good movie but it hasn't got anything that can make it stand up from the crowd.

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 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.

Never Back Down reminds me of a Disney Channel Movie back in days of Brink and Johnny Tsunami. It has simple characters and doesn't really have too many surprises. That being said the movie is well written and has a classic plot. Plain and simple, it's just light hearted good watch. Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) is a kid troubled by the death of his father. After moving to a new town the local tough guy (Cam Gigandet) picks him to be his latest person to beat up on. The thing to do in this town is being into UFC/MMA and participating in the low key fight club.If you're looking for some time to kill or your looking for a simple yet enjoyable movie check this out. The three reasons to are: entertaining story, decent acting for a small movie (with a small part from Dijon Hounsou), and a good motivational message.
