Never Back Down: Revolt (2021) User Reviews

Terrible and slow

[rjaconski · 3/10 · 10 December 2021]

I get it, they wanted to show the horror of human trafficking and added in fighting to be able to use the never back down name for recognition, but this movie is so slow and boring it's impossible to stay interested.

How we fix?

[nogodnomasters · 4/10 · 6 December 2021]

Aslan (Tommy Bastow) and his sister Anya (Olivia Popica) are immigrants living in London. Aslan is a fighter while Anya cleans toilets. When Aslan fails to throw a fight, crime boss Julian (James Faulkner) wants payback. Anya agrees to fight in Rome to clear the debt, but discovers she is imprisoned, forced to fight. If unable to fight they get sold to the Albanians for prostitution.

This is another run of the mill imprisoned girls trying to get out film. The only difference is the girls fight in a ring and not the showers.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Giving the franchise a bad name

[rdamian1963 · 3/10 · 27 April 2022]

Conceptually the movie had a chance, but bad acting, a marginal script, and poor fight sequences hurt this movie in a big way. I was a fan of the franchise until this.

Haven't watched worse movie in my life.

[goldmouthkal · 1/10 · 21 November 2021]

The production was at least average compared to Never Back Down 1,2 and 3 with very little action too. The scenario had many blanks and doesn't help you understand many things such us Anya's brother had too much screen time for not doing anything at all. Overall very bad production, the movie's name should not contain 'Never Back Down' as it has nothing to do with the previous movies, action was pathetic. Very disappointed!

Absolute Garbage

[jamiehomes · 1/10 · 2 December 2021]

Cheap tacky rubbish, so so bad! Even the fight scenes are horrendous. Michael Bisbing could be a decent bit part but this film is not the right place.

Painful (to watch for more than 5 minutes)...

[WatchingFromWashington · 1/10 · 5 March 2022]

The best part of this film that I could bare was the first minute when the lead character asked if her bird was hungry. After that, I could not stomach more than that. Somehow I decided to give it a chance and watched another 7 minutes. The dialogue was horrible, the acting bad and the fight scene in the first 12 minutes was awful, choreography = bad, phony punches = obvious & weak, injuries = think raspberry jam smeared all over a toddlers face, lastly, there was not an ounce of tension or suspense. I'm sure sure why they bothered with How, no, wait... WHY was this move made?! I can't get that 12 minutes back, but at least I could tell that I'd saved myself another hour, 16 minutes and 49 seconds of time to use for something other than this movie. I don't feel bad missing any of it and can't imagine it will improve. After reading other reviews, I think I made the right decision. Do your self a favor... Just say NO! To watching this film. There are so many better, more productive things to do, like cleaning a cat litter box, removing hair and gunk from a clogged sink drain, or taking out the garbage.

Laughing all the way

[Pistol219 · 1/10 · 16 April 2022]

Bahahahahahha Hahahahahahahahahabha, This isn't seriously a movie is it? Like how did someone test watch this and say, "Hell ya" Lets clear this for public watching. No , NO NO.

Major let down

[davecamacho-44077 · 1/10 · 5 December 2021]

Where to start? Awful acting, low budget feel, really fake looking fight scenes. Bisping is like a cheap Vinnie jones, even worse storyline. From somebody that likes most fighting movies, and should be an easy sell, this was just cringe.

It's not going to win awards but.....

[mhanson-26312 · 6/10 · 3 December 2021]

A solid (if somewhat unbelievable) story, good action that will keep you entertained, showing girl power is alive and well. OK it never gonna win any awards but take it for what it is.

Man this was bad

[brett-76260 · 2/10 · 6 March 2022]

Michael B I love the fact you're out there expanding your brand. I'm a huge fan but even you have to know this was pretty sour... The script was just not good mate... I think when the right movie comes along for you things will work out much better than this turd. Not the best movie but props for getting out there and expanding your future!

Fun sports action thriller that never gets kicked out.

[turnerw-28359 · 9/10 · 21 November 2021]

This got to be one of the best direct to video sequels I've seen in a long time but not one of the best of 2021. Great Concept, keeps us interested, and never lets up.

Sucked

[ghosthog · 1/10 · 19 March 2022]

I'll have to say I like to never back down original movie but this sucked it was like hostile meets back down it was not a good movie didn't have a good cast completely sucked.

Damn Never Back Down Franchise what the hell?

[sobedragon7 · 1/10 · 9 March 2022]

This is like so bad its impressive they got Never Back Down to franchise this film.

The actresses literally can't fight, in a movie about fighting.

They traffic this chick to be a "fighter" because they are interested to see her fight because she's so beautiful? Huh?

Then she can't fight, gets her ass handed to her, and every fight scene in this film is so poorly shot and acted I can't believe they made this.

I feel bad for some of the actors in this film because the acting itself isn't awful on some parts, the brother fighter is decent, but honestly? Don't waste your time.

wtf

[TiaCorinnaHD · 5/10 · 6 March 2022]

Borderline cheesy you had me at Michael Bisping but over-the-top at the very end she actually lets the parakeet fly out the window what the hell.it's like pretty obvious, common knowledge that you don't let a domesticated bird go outside.seriously no one involved knew this smh.

Excels at being one of the worst. Unfinishable

[okiwen · 1/10 · 27 August 2023]

Terrible script. Terrible cinematography. Unbelievable and horrible acting. Now, for the bad things...more of the above. The okay on the political crime dejure is both sad and just poorly contrived. Ridiculous in premise and the filming is high school quality. The thought that a whole cast of clearly unremarkable actors is anything close to remarkable fighters is ridiculous. Not only is the acting terrible as stated many times, but the fight choreography is equally poor. As an example, the rear-naked choke that was supposed to have killed the first captive was just ludacris. Simply too stupid.

Girl Power

[jayapandey-29493 · 10/10 · 16 December 2021]

It's fun and engaging movie. Nitu Chandra's role is really good and her stunt scenes were excellent. Overall, a great movie to witness girl power rocks!

Good movie. Nitu's acting was outstanding!

[kyra-35946 · 10/10 · 16 December 2021]

Overall a good movie with grasping story line. Loved Nitu Chandra's acting. It's entertaining but at the same time hits on some dark realities of the society that are usually ignored by other movies. Vulnerable girls are exploited and the world turns a blind eye.

A must watch action thriller

[riteshkumarindia · 10/10 · 21 November 2021]

You will feel involved from beginning to end of the story. Excellent script with highly talented actors. All the characters have really acted good especially JAYA.

You've come to the right place

[francis-harrold · 8/10 · 17 November 2021]

Excellent film with some great stunt work going on here! Kudos to the great cast and crew for making this action thriller come to life. Hopefully there will be a sequel.
