Never Back Down

Never Back Down, also know as The Fighters, is a action movie released  in 2008. This movie was directed by Jeff Wadlow and it was written by Chris Hauty. The main actor in this movie was Sean Faris as Jake Tyler. The movie hasn’t been a big hit around the world since it has mostly met only negative reviews. Still the movie made over 60 million dollars around the world (40 million in theaters ) against a budget of 20 million dollars.

The movie starts with a scene where Jake is having a football match and someone in the opposite team says something rude about his father who died in a drunk driving accident. Jake gets really mad and attacks this guy instantly. After these events Jake has to move to a different city. Attempting to fit in, at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Jake goes to a party where he is unwillingly pulled into a fight with the fighting MMA champion at the school, Ryan McCarthy. Originally, Jake does not wish to fight until Ryan taunts him about his father. First Jake doesn’t want to be any kind of a fighter or anything else like that, but after he realizes that his whole family could be in a danger because he being involved in some fighting stuff. Jake starts intense training with his new master Jean Roqua. Jake knows that he has to beat Ryan before he really hurts his family or friends.

I have watched this movie like million times and i still enjoy watching it. At first this movie seemed like it was just guys beating other guys over and over again, but after when i watched this movie for like the second time o realized it was not just fighting, not at all. The movie of course includes a lot of fighting but that how this Jake feels about fighting is incredible. In the movie there is this ’Beatdown’ event where Jake tries to beat Ryan. This Ryan gets disqualified and when Jake hears about this he immediately walks away from the event because all he cares about is to fight Ryan, nothing else. This movie is entirely very well made and the actors are really good and i just really like it.
