Ok, so if you didn't get what my excellent riddle of a title for this post is about, then I will tell (type) you. This is going to be a quick little review of the movie "Never Back Down."
Despite not being a Box Office Tycoon, it was actually pretty successful for a fairly low-budget, fairly predictable movie.
And as for myself, I gotta say, I kinda liked it. The movie did a good job of showing how a teenagers aquire information these days by having YouTube be the vessel of popularity. Even the dorky kid is "cool" cuz he's the one who "posts" the video's of the actual "cool" kids. The fight scenes are actually pretty entertaining. And when you throw in the ultimate BadA$$ for a trainer Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond) and lots of skin, and even a feel good "head-nod" between "enemies" to cap it off and you've got yourself an ok flick.
Now for my beef with the movie... will somebody, for the love of freakin YOU KNOW WHO please try to make a movie where the main characters don't seem to have an unlimited income for no reason at all, other then one that is entirely ethnocentric... Is it that hard, it must be, cuz they are getting further and farther between. Say what you want about comic book movies, but they do this part right...
Grade, a solid B- (AKA, I would see it again with someone who hadn't seen it yet)...
