A enjoyable punch up.

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2009)

Never back down. Was definitely not brilliant, i'll explain why later. But it's still a great teen fighting movie. Packed with some great punch up's and cool fighting. The movies typicality may have just killed it from greater success, with a little more thought and extending some certain feature's the movie could of surprised many viewers. No real idea of the movie stood out, the plot was very simple and obvious, easily written script. But then what does make this movie so good?
It's simple, it's highly entertaining and keeps you occupied with watching some cool direct fight scenes. Everyone likes to watch a good fight, you will see plenty of that exploited in this movie. Furious punches, nice round kicks, tight submissions and explosive K.O's. It may help a little if your familiar with the ufc. The acting was actually quite impressive Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet had some nice bouts. Djimon Hounsou did a flawless job. He was strong mentality wise and physically. His script was the most effective and inspiring. Very impressed with him. What makes this movie 7 stars and not 9 or 10 stars is just like i said before. Yes the film was to predictable and a little weak with some scenes. But nothing major, the film was still very good.
I guess if you like watching a good fight or two, you will definitely enjoy this one. A great movie with impressive strong acting. Inspiring at times and fun to watch.
