The chthonic atmosphere is oddly mesmerising, perhaps because - like a prison sentence - it wears you down eventually.

Rated: 2/5

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

Writer-director Matthew Berkowitz's crime drama "A Violent Man" has all the pungent cynicism of a classic film noir but lacks the urgency.

Sunday Times (UK)

The film’s first-time director, Ross McCall, has written a gruelling script.

Rated: 2/5

REELYDOPE

... the film is still a worthy installment in the neo-noir cannon, if only for its pursuit of a story that isn't styled after Harmony Korine's particular brand of "chaos in paradise" narratives in America's southeastern corridor.

Cinemalogue

A thoughtful character-driven thriller is buried somewhere beneath the clichés that eventually overwhelm this uneven mixed-martial arts melodrama.

A Violent Man is a good film with a good cast and story. Fans of film noir are going to appreciate the final product.

Rated: 7/10

Very boring film, storyline was drawn out and went nowhere, filmed in two rooms with very bad lighting, don't waste your tine

A really good and dramatic storyline that wants you to keep getting more of the story. You’ll feel bad with Ty Matthews as the struggles as he lives throughout the film, but there’s a shock, twist ending that I won’t spoil. You have to see it 7/10

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Thomas Jones is a very underated actor. Was great in the Luke Cage series and it's great to see him in this movie that he also produced!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

An intense movie that inherently addresses many current issues in society. The screen play is powerful and provoking.
