Never Back Down
It’s “Karate Kid” meets “Fight Club” meets “Rocky” meets “Anger Management” in this formulated sports story about the troubled new kid in town who takes a mentor to teach him how to defeat his nemesis. The only thing that changes is the sport (i.e. Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift and Stick It). High school never looked so good, with only hot babes and manly studs driving fancy wheels and living in big mansions. This movie is eye candy for the young movie goers. However, this mixed martial arts film is not as bad as it may seem if you can get pass the brutal, senseless violence. It is predictable from the start because we can all recognize the formula, but it’s the story we want to see. So principals, be wary of outbursts of more frequent fights on campus in the near future.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “fight night beat down” stars out of 4.
