My Review with a Shot At Hollywood.

Michael Jai White has been around for a long time. He is a very good
actor and an incredible action star and a superb martial artist.

It is frustrating seeing others succeed with less talent such as Samuel
L. Jackson who only has one mode angry. Michael Jai White should have
been Nick Fury.

With that said this movie is fantastic. I liked the first two Never
Back Down's but the this one, part 3, Jai White is the real star. This
movie seems like a throwback to the 80's martial arts action films that
was so prominent. Hollywood is missing those action movies that men
love. Sure this is low budget but it is well done. The good guys are
likable and the bad guys are not.

The plot is simple and that is fine. Jai White rules as Casey Walker.
He is a former fighter is is forced out of retirement. If you enjoyed
Undisputed 2 with Jai White, this is right up your alley.

Movie is a 10 out of 10. Nice simple plot, good action, well
choreographed action martial arts film. For fans of guy movies this is
a must see.

MJW is great but I can't see him as Nick Fury. Perhaps that's just because I associate the role so much with SLJ who I also like.

I would have liked to have seen MJW cast as "Luke Cage" though.
