Sean Faris plays Jake, the new kid (with a troubled past) who butts heads with rich alpha-male bully Ryan (Cam Gigandet, channeling Brad Pitt in FIGHT CLUB) at Miami High. Amber Heard plays Baja, the hot blonde who tricks Jake into attending a combination pool party/fight club held at Ryan's MTV cribs-style mansion.

About this product

Product Information

There's no eye-gouging, no biting, and no crotch shots allowed, but everything else goes in NEVER BACK DOWN, an invigorating high school sports/ultimate backyard fighting hybrid. Sean Faris plays Jake, the new kid (with a troubled past) who butts heads with rich alpha-male bully Ryan (Cam Gigandet, channeling Brad Pitt in FIGHT CLUB) at Miami High. Amber Heard plays Baja, the hot blonde who tricks Jake into attending a combination pool party/fight club held at Ryan's MTV cribs-style mansion. Jake doesn't want to fight at first but gets goaded into a blind rage and then gets his butt kicked. Enter Djimon Hounsou as the local fighting instructor who teaches Jake some self-discipline (and how to throw a cement block at the camera from 30 paces). Director Jeff Wadlow clearly harbors nostalgia for the halcyon days of TOP GUN and FLASHDANCE; the emo-rock-scored training montages flow as free as Baja's blonde hair during her frequent slow-motion walks down the hall. Jake even has a wisecracking slacker cameraman sidekick (Evan Peters) who uploads all the fights to the internet. Concerned parents will be glad to know there's not much drinking or kissing, and no matter how hard the punches and roundhouse kicks may be, everybody gets to keep their teeth. Special acting shout-out to Wyatt Smith as Jake's tennis-prodigy kid brother and Leslie Hope as their stressed-out single mom.

Its the Karate Kid..........again.
I liked this film better when it was titled 'The Karate Kid'. Sure, there is nothing new under the sun and every film borrows something from other films that have come before it, but this film borders on copyright infringement. If I had to write a Karate Kid summary in 3 sentences, this is what I would write: Kid moves to a new town. Kid gets the living crap beaten out of him by the town bad boy. Kid starts some heavy duty Karate training so he can get revenge by kicking the bad boys ass while simultaneously winning the heart of the hottest girl in town. Now, if I had to write a summary for Never Back Down in 3 sentences it would be as follows: Kid moves to a new town. Kid gets the living crap beaten out of him by the town bad boy. Kid starts some heavy duty Mixed Martial Arts training so he can get revenge by kicking the bad boys ass while simultaneously winning the heart of the hottest girl in town. The plot is literally exactly the same. The only difference is that when it came to the soundtrack they replaced Peter Cetera with nu metal in the vein of Linkin Park.....and the most pivotal characters in this film were cell phones. People have commented that the fight scenes were pretty good. I tend to disagree. They were....down right boring. Instead of watching this film just watch the Karate Kid and have a computer handy. When the fight scenes are on in the Karate Kid, just turn away and watch some UFC fights on Youtube. You'll have practically the same film as Never Back Down....just much, much better. I do respect the fact that they were able to jam every 80's film cliché into just over 90 minutes. It is impossible to spoil the content of this film as everybody has already seen it (at least 1000 times) with a different title. Will the good kid defeat the bad kid in a no holes barred fight? Who knows? Well, actually, everybody knows.Read full review

Great
I liked everything about this movie. Everyone i know has enjoyed it. As an mma fan this should perk your interest. If you're the type of person looking for a modern, good, action movie. Never Back Down is it. If you're looking for deep storylines and drama, try something else. The soundtrack is also great. Even watched the credits so I could go and buy the songs off iTunes. I would reccomend this movie to anyone.

Great Movie.
The movie is actually really good. It has a good storyline with a really good cast of actors. It has everything from mixed martial arts action, family problems, and a love story. I would have to say this is one of the better teen movies that I have seen. Great movie.

It's a great movie! My son (14), daughter (10), husband and I all really enjoyed it. Great movie to show courage and self discipline. Our family has seen the movie a number of times and decided it was time to purchase it so that we can watch it anytime we'd like too
