Carla Hay Culture Mix American Fighter uses every possible movie cliché about an 'underdog' fighter who has to beat the odds and surpass people's low expectations to reach a certain goal. There's nothing creative or imaginative about this film. Jul 10, 2021 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media The cheesy action movie cliches don't quite prevent this from being an enjoyable action movie. Rated: 3/5 Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee B-movie regulars Tommy Flanagan and Sean Patrick Flanery face off as a shady promoter and Ali's grizzled mentor, respectively, but like the uninspired fight scenes, they're barely even going through the motions. Rated: C- May 25, 2021 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Despite exhilarating, well-choreographed fight scenes, it's shallow, unfocused and fails to pack an emotional punch. Rated: 5.7831268/10 May 21, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Here's why you need to see American Fighter. It's the fighting! Rated: 8/10 May 20, 2021 Full Review Andrew Gaudion THN American Fighter is hardly as polished as the Hollywood counterparts that it clearly looks up to, but it is a sports drama that wears its heart on its sleeve and has a lead hero that's sweet-natured and very easy to root for. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Really nice. All of actors are best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Def better than I expected. It’s got heart, a good story, humor, romance and lots of good fighting. Like an 80’s popcorn flick. Even has a montage 👊 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/21 Full Review Read all reviews
