  this movie "won't back down" was based on a true story and from the trailer it had my utter most interest. maggie gyllenhaal and viola davis did amazing acting the roles that they did--personally,as someone who has helped work in a school,i have seen not only the successes of the system as a whole, its staff and students but also the many challenges and failures--this movie was quite a motivational one with it's meaningful plot for those of us who continue to want to create an environment in education where we all learn, grow and thrive!i rate this 4 out of 5 stars and give the two main actresses a standing ovation for their believable acting and great job in fulfilling the roles of their c

  i would give it three stars. it was a sweet (heartfelt) movie. well done, although slow at times. it is based on a true story which is always fun, but this type of plot/subject/situation felt somewhat recycled (seen "it" before). it was worth going. i would have paid for the tickets. :-)

  viola davis pushes you to like this film.just sat there waiting for it to end.then gyllenhaal throws a curve.holly hunter good as usual doing her best to be a mean ass.. overall good performances. relevant story line for today. good family movie for parents to see with their children for inspiration. overall not a bad film at all.

  overall a very good movie for the whole family. i especially enjoyed viola davis' performance as the teacher who helps turn around the school together with a determined parent.

  saw this on a double-bill with expendables 2 at the drive-in; what a letdown! you'd think with a title like "won't back down" you could expect lots of action, but there was little if any at all.

  although the acting was great and the theme was timely and relevant, i see this more as a tv movie (or movie-of-the-week) than a theatrical film, in its style and delivery. all of the labour negotiations and such would prove too boring to make it a movie for the whole family and the lack of true drama or tragedy stop it from being a provocative film. but it's always a pleasure to see these two actresses on the screen and fighting for a good cause at that.
