It is devastating and heartbreaking what some of these women have gone through, and the emotional state it has left them in. These women all know how to fight, they just need to turn those skills against their captors, rather than against each other.Īt its core, Never Back Down: Revolt has a solid emotional and dramatic storyline, following this group of women trying to find the strength to save themselves and escape from their captors. But she can’t take on all these people on her own, and needs to rally the other women to help her take down the guards, Mariah, and all the rich folks using them for their entertainment. Anya is the newest member of this fight club, and brings with her a new spirit of hope and revolt. Each of the women has a story similar to Anya’s of how Mariah promised them the world, only to kidnap them and force them to fight. Most of these women have already accepted their fate-they’ve been beaten down so many times, or have seen what has happened to the women who have tried to escape, and have given up even trying or fantasizing about leaving. If they refuse to fight, attempt to escape, or don’t follow the rules, Janek and the other guards are always around to keep the women in line-and they have no qualms about tossing these women into walls, slamming them in the stomach, or whether else they feel gets the message to submit across. They are forced to beat each other up on a circular stage, surrounded by wealthy onlookers and the manipulative Mariah, who lured each of them there. While the film opens with Aslan cage fighting, the majority of the fights in this movie actually involve the women. Never Back Down: Revolt is the fourth installment of the Never Back Down franchise, but the film doesn’t really have any connection to the previous movies, other than the fact that it involves MMA fighting. However, there are more than a half dozen strong, well-trained guards watching them, including the ruthless Janek (Michael Bisping), who openly admits that he enjoys hurting women. As Aslan desperately tries to locate his sister, Anya plots her escape, trying to rally the other women to revolt against their captors and make their way to freedom. When she arrives at her destination, Anya discovers that she is just the latest victim of these traffickers, who force women to fight in front of their rich clients, and when the girls can no longer fight, Mariah sells them off to Albanian sex traffickers. The siblings take some precautions to ensure Anya’s safety, but it isn’t enough. Anya is a bit suspicious, and Aslan trusts them even less, but they don’t really have any other choice. They offer to pay Anya to fight in front of some wealthy VIP clients in Rome…an exclusive female fight club. However, Julian and his partner Mariah (Brooke Johnston) have another idea when they witness Anya get into a fight with some of their guards. Now Aslan owes Julian a large debt, which is going to take a long time to pay off at the rate that Aslan is earning money. However, Aslan can’t bring himself to go through with it, which causes Julian to lose a lot of money. Aslan’s manager, Davy (Cameron Jack), arranges for him to throw a fight against the client of crime boss Julian (James Faulkner). Meanwhile, her brother Aslan is an amateur MMA fighter, but he struggles to earn enough money to help out. She cleans houses to pay the bills while also studying on her own for the medical school entrance exam. Anya wants to be a doctor like her parents, who died when she was young. Chechen siblings Aslan (Tommy Bastow) and Anya (Olivia Popica) grew up in orphanages, and left their home country when they were old enough, to start a new life in London.
