A disappointment at best

Rating: 1/10 (14 March 2008)

Picture the classic movie formula: Guy gets into a fight. Guy loses the fight and the girl. Guy goes to some karate master. Guy wins the fight. Add just enough innuendos so that the kids will believe they are watching actually watching an R rated movie. Then do some final editing for the critics, and you have Never Back Down.
I can see how preteen boys will like this movie for the fights. Or how teenage girls will come to see sweaty male models showing it all on screen. But the overall movie is below standards, and definitely not worth the time or the money. This production is a disappointment from director Jeff Wadlow.
