When Jake Tyler is transferred to Florida, students have interested about him because of his fighting UCC video. Jake falls in love with Baja Miller who is diva of the school at first sight, and she regards Jake also. At first, Jake has a great time when Baja invite him to the party. However, in fact, the party was secret fight club managed by Ryan McCarthy who is Baja’s boyfriend and best fighter of the school. Ryan proposes Jake to fight for getting the best fighter position in front of students, but Jake is defeated tragedy. After Jake starts to train in the MMA training school, Ryan tries to fight in the Beat Down that is biggest fight club.
The movie, Never Back Down, is action genre movie. The biggest structure of story is main character Jake Tyler’s human growth story. I will talk about most impressive things of the movie. First, there are many roles around of main character as archetypes. Hero is Jake Tyler, and Villain is Ryan McCarthy. Sidekick is Max Cooperman. Wise old man is Jean Roqua who is the training master of MMA. Comic relief is Jake’s brother Charlie Tyler. Those characters make a harmony for consisting of this movie. Second, Never Back Down’s fighting scenes and training scenes are really interesting. In the movie, there are many good people. In particular, men who like a working out might concentrate on the circuit training scenes and fighting scenes. In the scene, Jake undervalues the little man, and he defeats little man. It reminds humility is important. Third, even though the movie has a predictable storyline, connecting speedy deployment and the appearance of tough men allow me not boring during the movie running time. Most action genre movie uses a stunman as professional actions. However, Never Back Down’s actors act themselves.

Never Back Down is fantastic human hero movie with common kind of character. In my opinion, I am sure most man like this movie. I want to recommend to the men who are interested in training or fighting. This movie is best choice for the time killing. More over, I am really astonished because it made great movie by just topic of fighting. However, it has not only entertainment content, but also lesson. In the movie, maybe the director wants to say “Abandon, irritating fighting and obsession to be first class. Do, healthy training yourself.” Sometimes, it is a motivation movie for my hard weight lifting workout.
