"Never back down" 6/10
Karate kid anno 2008. More brutal and uses ultimate fighting instead of Karate. Clever. And it has a very well casted hero, "heroine" and bad guy.
This movie could easily become the Karate Kid of it's decade, especially thanks to its Ultimate Fighting, which seems to be the last years hippest martial arts form.
That being said, it sure lacks the charm of the K Kid and the much later "Showdown" (2003), which i believe i've seen about 8 times now. NBD will probably be a 1 time view for me.
