Preview: Never Back Down (2008)

   

Poster: C+

Review:

Taking on the imbalanced style of more interesting posters like Shoot 'Em Up and Cassandra's Dream, this poster has a good blend of colors and mixture of images, each one likely to bring in a few extra audience members that the trailer might not.

Trailer: C+

Review:

It's like a cross between Fight Club and The Fast and the Furious but may only appeal to those who found the latter stimulating. While the fight choreography certainly looks inventive, there's little chance the story will be able to stand out as something equally stimulating.

Oscar Prospects:

Even Fight Club couldn't muster an editing nomination, so there's little likelihood this film will earn any recognition.

Release Date:

March 14, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
