      [Case arrives at Brody's house in Bangkok and catches Brody having sex with two girls]

      Case Walker: Oh, hell no. Brody, man, we're supposed to be liftin'.

      [Brody starts bench-pressing the blonde girl]

      Brody James: Spot me, bro.

      Case Walker: Man, I'm outta here. Call me when you wanna win a fight.

      Brody James: I always knew you were gay.

      Case Walker: Me? The brunette's a man.

      [the Asian girl suddenly runs out of the room]

      Case Walker: Dude, I was kidding.

    While the movie has its share of flaws, it's a huge step up from its predecessor
    I avoided this movie for awhile due to the massive and disappointing failure which was Never Back Down 2. Outside of Michael Jai White and them bringing back Evan Peters I found literally zero traits redeeming about it and literally hated the movie.

    Back to Never Back Down 3, I actually enjoyed the movie and thought it was worlds better the second one. However with that said, this one was far from perfect.

    First outside of Esai Morales who I thought was phenomenal in his role. The acting and dialogue was painfully brutal. Another problem I had with this film is the pacing is extremely inconsitent. Lastly the movie had a lot of subplots that literally added no value and went nowhere.

    There were a lot of good redeeming traits though. The action was very good, the visuals were decent for movie on this low of a budget, and it contained just enough emotion to keep the viewer engaged to what was going on and the characters.

    I would nevertheless though, only recommend this film to die hard Michael Jai White or mma fans. I can't find the average viewer getting any enjoyment out of this otherwise.
