#Never back down ratings professional
He has recently moved from Iowa to Florida with his family who has relocated to support his younger brother’s shot at a professional tennis career. Jake is the new kid in town with a troubled past. Set against the action-packed world of Mixed Martial Arts, Never Back Down is the story of Jake Tyler, a tough kid with alot of heart but also alot of anger. Here's what I hoped for: someone to root for, someone to root against, an inspiring coach, some eye candy and, of course, training montages. Will the good kid defeat the bad kid in a no holes barred fight? Who knows? Well, actually, everybody knows. It is impossible to spoil the content of this film as everybody has already seen it (at least 1000 times) with a different title. I do respect the fact that they were able to jam every 80's film cliché into just over 90 minutes. You'll have practically the same film as Never Back Down.just much, much better.
When the fight scenes are on in the Karate Kid, just turn away and watch some UFC fights on Youtube. Instead of watching this film just watch the Karate Kid and have a computer handy. People have commented that the fight scenes were pretty good. 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. 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. Kid gets the living crap beaten out of him by the town bad boy. Now, if I had to write a summary for Never Back Down in 3 sentences it would be as follows: 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.
If I had to write a Karate Kid summary in 3 sentences, this is what I would write: 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. I liked this film better when it was titled 'The Karate Kid'.
