An average movie

Posted : 11 years, 4 months ago on 29 December 2012 09:38

I didn't expect much from this movie and, indeed, it was nothing really amazing. At first, it seemed that it was going to be some kind of juvenile Fight Club but, no, after introducing this concept (not really interesting if you ask me), they just dropped it within 5 minutes without coming back to it at any moment. Why would they show this to us if they decide to go towards a completely different direction?!? Anyway, after that, the rest of the movie was just a MMA version of The Karate Kid. Indeed, they faithfully followed the genre with the mentor, the douchebag, the love interest (who, of course, used to date the douchebag), of course the training montage with some inspirational music and the final showdown. I must admit it, it was actually well made but so unoriginal, so predictable, I really had a hard time to care about the whole thing. At the end, there was even this tournament, when the two guys were supposed to fight it off in the final but, no, instead they end up fighting on the parking lot... The makers probably thought it was a neat way to go against expectations but it wasn't. I mean, why should we bother at all with this tournament if they eventually will fight on some random parking lot?!? The other thing that annoyed me was the usual message you get in those movies that the main character shouldn't fight... I always find it some hypocritical BS... I mean, if you watch this kind of movies, of course you want to see them fight, of course you want to see them kick some ass and because it's a movie, nobody is actually getting hurt, so in this case, violence is fine as it is pure and simply entertaining so just cut the crap... To end on a positive note, Djimon Hounsou was dependable as usual and Cam Gigandet had a nice charisma but both characters were reduced to some disappointing stereotypes. To conclude, if you love this genre, you will probably like this movie but I thought it was pretty average and it is eventually not really worth a look.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger !

Uh ... how many emotions I have after watching! Just do not put into words. Aj that year was attended by a desire to see this tape, sorry I did not know what to lose. Thanks, TNT, who once convinced that through this channel yet quite often show a very decent films! At least me deeply touched.

Cast. I want to say about it in the first place. Impressed. The main characters are so good. Picture of course - the film's success. And here seems so much beauty. Just none. Do not argue every movie and all its just a pleasant person but they are combined with beautiful bodies. After all this yummy decorate it they well and talent of course. Main characters certainly do not lack in this!

Very much want to say about Sean Faris. No matter how many movies with him was not looking, he can decorate any. Excellent appearance, especially the eyes, smile, and in this film still and the body. Do not tear my eyes away. Madly he a nice guy. You look at him and you can not not smile! Checked N number of times.

Amber Heard in spite of its not very serious role, put strong enough. Excellent couple would marry them with Faris. Wonderful harmony. Brunette with blonde always looks elegant and they are not an exception.

Evan Peters added, positive, well played and rather well blended. Not detract from the main and quite a handsome boy.

And of course Cam Zhigande. The boy - a scoundrel. She met with his personality on the show "Lonely Hearts". She looked not a little of its work. I do not remember, and the role with him, wherever he has not played a bad guy. His gaze is itself a sly and hot. There would be only the negative characters are not played, disappointed by his actions, has provoked anger and all the same, whatever one may say, crazy like! Awfully temperamental and sexy guy. His beloved course terribly lucky.

Plot. Very good. Interesting, very interesting, fun and a thousand times interesting.

Music. And here everything is fine. In each accompanied by music with absolute precision is chosen at the time. Only the color and not distracting. They even glows passion.

My verdict of 10 out of 10! Watch everything necessary. The storm of emotions and mostly sea of positive emotions. Despite the drama, were no tears, and felt good with a smile to the ears!

UFC meets the O.C.

Posted : 15 years, 9 months ago on 14 August 2008 05:37

Never Back Down is the story of Jake Taylor(Sean Faris, who has no relation to actress Anna Faris, and looks like a cross between Christian Bale and Tom Cruise) who has a tragic past with his father dying in a car accident that could have been prevented. Things get worse when Baja Miller(Amber Heard(pineapple express) who has quite the resume` at a young age)invites jake to a party at Ryan Mcarthy's(Cam Diganget(Who's your caddy)) place. only to find out that he was baited there only to get heavily beaten. This is when Jake meets Max Cooperman (Evan Peters(An American Crime)) who introduces him to 365 degree fighting and Jean Roqua (Dijmon Hounsou(Blood Diamond))who teaches him to control his anger and the outcome of any fight. Never Back Down in an interesting look at the UFC fighting style which someday might take over boxing.

Karate Kid for the next generation

Posted : 15 years, 9 months ago on 3 August 2008 03:34

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

This Is One Of My All-Time Favorite Film

Posted : 16 years, 1 month ago on 15 March 2008 04:28

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.
