Another movie review

From IMDB:
At his new high school, a rebellious teen Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) is lured into an ultimate underground fighting club in a Backyard Fight, where he finds a mentor in a mixed martial arts veteran. After receiving threats to the safety of his friends and family, Jake seeks the mentoring of a veteran fighter, to train his mind and body for one final no-holds-barred elimination fight with his unrelenting personal nemesis and local martial arts champion Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet).

Basically, Never Back Down is an adrenaline pumping, aciton packed, violence filled and high school based movie. From the summary itself, it already sounds very much like a typical "guy" movie where all we see are flying fists, jumping kicks, wounds, cuts, bruises and blood here and there. However, I'm here to tell you that Never Back Down is actually a rated U movie, which is suitable for everyone and anyone. (Despite the obvious explicity of violence)

Ladies first. This my female readers, is Sean Faris aka Jake Tyler in the movie. Err.. 'Nuff said? Lol. Anyways, this Cristiano Ronaldo look-alike here is the main character in the movie, and as the summary stated, he goes through training and stuff to try and beat his enemy. So.. Throughout the movie, you ladies will be able to see this hunk training his hot body to fight the good fight.

Other than that, the fight scenes in this movie is not as gory and bloody as you think. It's more of like.. Fight Club rather like something taken from 300. Get me? Yeah so instead of seeing blood and tooth flying across the screens, you'll be seeing sweaty bodies, man meat, flexed muscles and much more of the tantalizing body of a man. Now, ain't that more than enough reasons? Oh and just a fun fact: Sean Faris gained a whoppin' 15 pounds of muscles for his role. O_o

As for the guys... Despite the fact that Never Back Down is already a macho guy movie, another reason to watch it is because of the girl above. I'm pretty sure no one has ever heard of her.. but this girl is a rising star and guess what? Her name's Amber HEARD. LoL

Moving on, Amber Heard plays Baja Miller in this movie. She's the girlfriend of Ryan McCarthy who later falls for Jake Tyler due to his err.. righteous-ness, looks and charms I suppose. She plays the bad guy's hot girlfriend who winds up with the good guy and does a good job at it. Not to mention a certain HOT scene between Jake Tyler in the movie. Hehehe.. XD

And lastly.. It is a good show for everyone because this movie talks about family values and a sense of self-morality. The problems that Jake faces with his family, Amber with her self acceptance, Ryan with his dad, Jake's mentor with his dad and so on provides enough drama to keep you drawn in. This is what makes Never Back Down a good movie as it is all-rounded just with a touch more of violence, sexuality, language and other typical teenage problems.

There you have it, Never Back Down ladies and gentlemen. Check it out and give it a try, you have my word for it. [=
