Key review: “The fact that White is a total package of on-screen charisma, incredible martial arts talent, and a competent and capable director and writer make him an indispensable presence in the modern action movie landscape.” – Ed Travis, Cinapse
Synopsis: Michael Jai White went back to the “Never Back Down” well once more for this one with Barnett as his costar. Ex-MMA stud Case Walker (White) goes to Thailand with Brody James (Barnett) to help him train. Things go a little sour when Case discovers Brody has been convinced to use steroids (we can’t make this up). Then Brody gets hurt, and Case is going to have to fight in his place to not only win, but get revenge against the dirty promoter and keep his new girlfriend, a former PR flak for the promotion.
