MMA Movie ‘Never Back Down’ hits Theatres on March 14th..
With the phenomenal growth in popularity and mainstream acceptance of Mixed Martial Arts over the past few years, it was inevitable that the interest will spill over onto the big screen.? ‘Never Back Down’, an MMA themed action film with a primarily teen cast will be attempting to capture the attention of the younger MMA market when it opens in theaters?on March 14th.
The film looks to refresh the theme that has been successful with ‘The Karate Kid’ and other films, but perhaps with a bit more edge.
As per the official movie site, the storyline is as follows;
Set against the action-packed world of Mixed Martial Arts, NEVER BACK DOWN is the story of Jake Tyler, a tough kid who leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart.? Jake Tyler, played by Sean Faris (Yours, Mine and Ours), is the new kid in town with a troubled past.? He has recently moved to Orlando, Florida with his family who has relocated to support his younger brother’s shot at a professional tennis career.? Jake was a star athlete on the football team at home, but in this new city he is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler.??
?Making an attempt to fit in, and at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Baja, played by Amber Heard (Hidden Palms, Alpha Dog), Jake goes to a party where he is unwittingly pulled into a fight with a bully named Ryan McCarthy, played by Cam Gigandet (The O.C., Who’s Your Caddy?).? While he is defeated and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).? He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with his mentor, Jean Roqua, played by Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, In America).
?It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master.? Roqua will take Jake under his wing, but it is up to Jake to find the patience, discipline, willingness and reason within him to succeed.? For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory.? His decision will not just settle a score; it will define who he is.
Based on the trailer alone, the film looks to be an entertaining execution of a comfortable movie format.??Adding additional credibility,??the?actors were put through 3 months of MMA training prior to filming, working with professional?fighters to add realism to the fight scenes.
MMASplatter.com has 5 double passes for an advance screening of Never Back Down in each of the following cities/theatres on March 12th, 2008:

The biggest problem I have in speaking in public (or private, for that matter) is when I talk on a subject that is emotionally intense for me. I feel myself starting to choke up and I have to fight back tears. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to control this? I know it’s easy to suggest that I avoid those subjects, but that’s not a solution. The subjects I speak about are personal experiences and they are the focus of my talks.

UFC 114 will have a bunch of fits, but none at the magnitude of the bout involving Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans. This is just one of the most anticipated complement-ups, which will ultimately take location this 30 days.
