Let me start off by saying I actually liked this movie. Granted I love martial arts movies so I'm more prone to like them. This movie reminded me alot of The Karae Kid. It has the same basic storyline. You have a kid that moves to a new school, meets the hottie girl whose boyfriend is the bad ass of the school and things go from there. You have your Mr. Miagi in this movie as well. SO if you like the Karate Kid, then you'll like this movie

Let me start out by saying, do not listen to any bad reviews or ratings, of this film. It is not cheesy, nor does it have bad acting. "Never Back Down", is an excellent film. Let me start out, with the character development. It is great. I was concerned with every character, from beginning to end, and that is a good thing. The characters, also had great relationships together. The film was not just a mindless fighting film, it had great character development. The fight sequences, in this film, are extremely real looking, and Very realistic. The fighting moves, could be done, in real life. I loved seeing this film, it was excellent. I will definitely remember this film for years to come, and buy it the day it comes out.
