I'm reminded of the Undisputed DTV sequels, a series Michael Jai White was once featured in. These guys can't act their way out of a paper bag, so why try? Just have them fight. The screen is packed with UFC and MMA stars. The story is fairly trivial, but bloated, which is the film's biggest problem – there's way too much of it. It's a name-only DTV sequel about – you guessed it – underground MMA fighting tournaments. Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown is Michael Jai White's directorial debut. But throw him into the backseat (as a minor character) and force him to direct an MMA-sanctioned movie, and he'll deliver exactly what you'd expect – crap. His last few efforts have been downright terrific, especially his cult masterpiece Black Dynamite. And he seems like a pretty cool dude, too. I really love Michael Jai White's movies.
