Carla Hay

Culture Mix

Haymaker is a globe-trotting film that had the potential to be a compelling adventure/love story. However, the movie's incoherent storyline, badly written dialogue, and dull acting make it very forgettable.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

This good-looking action/drama, casually paced and set against intriguing, late-night backdrops, is unfortunately a total flatline in terms of story and characters, with the exception of Ruiz.

Rated: 2/5

And Haymaker is a complete and total failure of a movie.

Cinema Crazed

Haymaker is a slow moving film that doesn't feel like it's about the lead character that is expected from its synopsis. The film is an interesting watch and Nomi Ruiz makes the film...

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinemalogue

Hardly a knockout, this combination of a stilted love story with a fighter's quest for redemption falls flat inside and outside the ring.
