Movie on DVD: Never Back Down

For some reason, I was riveted by this same ol same ol story of a young, angst-ridden American teenager who fights his way out of his sense of guilt over his father’s death and gets the girl in the end. The girl is Amber Heard, and I can predict she will go far. She has the face of a siren - you know, the ones sitting on rocks and luring sailors to their doom? And the body of a Playboy centrespread. When has Hollywood ever asked for more? Sean Faris is a thinner, taller version of Tom Cruise and with a beauty spot as strategically perfect as Cindy Crawford’s, naturally he has come far from his days on the sets of Life as We Know It.
As for Cam Gigandet, what a sublime face and all he has ever got is to play the villain which he does well, granted, but in everything from Twilight, The OC and now this? A bit much.
Someone give him a saga in the Rocky mould and we’ll discover a superstar.
