Movie is dopey. And with its emphasis on stupid violence, xylophone abs, and getting yourself on YouTube, it's yet another product that makes you feel bad about today's youth culture. Mar 19, 2008 | Rating: D | Full Review…

I laughed so much at the litany of clichés that I finally had to admit I was entertained from start to finish by this cheesy knock-off. Mar 17, 2008

It's a little Karate Kid, a smidge of Fight Club...a lot of The O.C. (evil boy Gigandet played an evil boy on that series), and presto: probable hit. Mar 14, 2008 | Rating: 2/4

While the character of Jake isn't an emotionally taxing one, Faris has his moments, especially in a low-key scene in which he attempts to explain why his character is full of rage. Oct 18, 2008 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

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. I got what I wanted. Aug 27, 2008 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

A sort of teenage Fight Club, complete with daddy issues, Never Back Down is a slight refinement of the sort of picture that was ascendant in the '80s... [Blu-Ray] Aug 5, 2008 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A generic, violent underdog story that pays a lot of lip service to non-violence when its characters aren't busy kicking and punching the tar out of each other. Jul 23, 2008

People that actually think the trailer looks cool will probably like the movie enough and it does have some cool fights, I just couldn't get past the fact that the movie gave you no one to root for. Jun 18, 2008 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
