Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

The Fight Machine is a gut-punch of a movie. It's not about the catharsis of a knock-out blow, but the slow grind of a solid beating.

THN

A solid drama that doesn’t push as hard as it could, though the elements that remain make for an entertaining and insightful look into the conflicted views of two headstrong young men.

Rated: 3/5

Orca Sound

The film, directed and co-written by Andrew Thomas Hunt (Spare Parts, Sweet Karma), features plenty of bare-knuckle violence but at its heart, it is a character study.

Rated: 2.5/5

Some pacing issues give the movie an uneven feel. That being said, the entire cast gives some strong performances while the fight scenes look great. The story will have no problems keeping audiences engaged and provided a great story.

Keri O'Shea

Warped Perspective

It's a pulpy, often brutal story about two unconnected lives and how they come into contact [...] the film as a whole is more of a 'journey, not destination' affair, considering ideas of masculinity and male social roles along the way.

Eye for Film

As critiques of the wealth gap are concerned, it’s not very deep, but it’s buoyed up by some strong supporting performances and Hunt’s skill at capturing the action in the ring.

Rated: 3/5
