Never Back Down

Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting...

''The Karate Kid'' did so well that they remade it twice (as sequels) and now it's back again, updated for the internet generation. Our hero is a teen with a volatile temper that gets him into trouble. Naturally he goes off pop against his new school's bully, and is soundly beaten. As luck would have it, he is introduced to a Mixed Martial Arts master, who teaches him physical and mental skills, by which time we're set for the inevitable rematch against the bully.

110 minutes, No persons under 16 (Violence)
