Never Back Ugh!

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2014)

Never an original moment...Never great acting...Never again. This movie was so predictable from the very start to the end. It was a slightly older "Karate Kid" kind of flick. The main character was such an easy target. The antagonist may as well have called the main character "chicken." That was enough to bait him into a fight. Amber Heard's character was the usual ridiculous blonde chick love interest who is so vapid you could practically see "vacancy" signs behind her eyes. Djimon Hounsou is usually cool to watch, but his Mr. Miyagi was lacking and that whole story line of how this kid teaches him to re-connect to his family was utterly ridiculous. The only redeeming parts to this film were the fight scenes, even though they were heavily choreographed and had the typical hero- gets-beat-up-throughout-the-fight-and-despite-his-many- injuries wins in the end theme. So, there ya go.
