Ok I am embarrased to admit I actually liked it. lol. The story was so so but the actual fight scene I really liked. Djimon was yummy as always and the young kids were pretty good. Love me a good fighting movie and I thought this was it. lol

A troubled teenager Jake (Sean Faris, Reunion) moves with his single mother to a new town where he gets picked on by bullies who have been trained in the martial arts. In response, fish-out-of-water teen trains with inscrutable foreigner Jean Roqua (Djimon Hounsou, Amistad) in preparation for a showdown with head bully Ryan (played by the chiseled Cam Gigandet). While Never Back Down is extremely violent, think Fight Club with a younger, less-talented cast: the violence is, for the most part, tedious. This is largely because the leads are not compelling: Jake is a Tom Cruise doppelganger without the charm, and Baja is a lifeless romantic interest. The one exception to this is Ryan; though he is a one-note villain, basically a teenage vortex of pure evil, he still manages to be a compelling foil. Ryan is the bully you love to hate. Yet, despite its never-ending list of flaws, Never Back Down is visually and audibly stimulating, complete with a catchy sound track, creative camera zooms and angles, ultra-loud sound effects, and CGI-enhanced hardbodies. In fact, the film might be worth a look if you're in the mood for a brainless, numbing, recycled heap that will assault your senses, and there is an audience who loves this kind of movie.

MCT:July 30, 2008I really enjoyed this movie. It was like a Fight Club High School version. I really really liked this movie. Great Plot, Great Acting, Great Action, and a great ending. I think that this movie deserves alot more than what it got. I never even heard of it until the DVD came out. I really really liked this movie. Go out and rent it if you havent seen it, its very good.

I was kinda surprised, the movie was quite entertaining. I thought the fighting movie genre was so outdated, but the movie delivered a fresh new look in this particular genre.

Are you kidding me? This steaming piece of donkey shit aimed at teenage MMA "fans" is "like Fight Club"? I just watched Fight Club again to make sure, but Fight Club is NOT about fighting. If you think Fight Club is about fighting, then you're as dense as a lead baseball cap.

Yes, the underlying plots are different, but the whole fight plot is a plaguarism of Fight Club.

this film is actually nothin like fight club? yeh, it has a place where people go and fight but that is it? the story line is different, everything is different, its more of an up to date karate kid, which in my eyes is a sick idea, this film was really good maybe the beginning of martial art movies again lol

It seems to me, from description and adverts, that this is going to be a rip off of fight club.
hell, he even has a similar name! Tyler Durden-Fight Club
Jake Tyler-Never Back Down.
plus iv'e heard the line "im angry all the time" in a film before. now i'm not saying this is patented to one film, but it sure does reminde me of when it was spoken in "Crash".posted 250 days ago -
