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. Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Kat Hughes 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 Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey 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 Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 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. Aug 7, 2022 Full Review 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. Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode 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 Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

New W The movie starts off a little clumsy I wasn’t really sure where it could go or what to expect but by the second half it sure did settle in and it became more of a drama movie as opposed to the first half that felt a little bit more action oriented, but by the time we get to the second half and the movie settles down and finds its footing we get treated to a really good dark drama movie. What this movie has going for it is incredible acting, and the fight scenes are awesome. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
