Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I am currently taking a sign language class and was told by my teacher to watch one of three movies that are about the deaf community. This happened to be one of them. I was recommended this movie by most of my classmates. I was a little skeptical at first when I heard that this movie is "based on a true story" I tend to avoid those kinds of movies like the plague, but The Hammer was worth the watch. It made me laugh, smile and cry. And I was very impressed with the direction and storytelling in terms of showing you what it's like to be deaf, growing up with a guardian who doesn't make the effort to understand or even help. All in all a very great and inspiring movie.

It's about a deaf boy, Matt Hamill, who discovers wrestling as his key to success in a hearing world. It didn't bother me that it got sappy and sentimental in the last ten minutes, because I was really invested in this guy's story. Russell Harvard does a admirable job in the starring role. For me decades have passed since I watched a memorable film (i.e., Children of a Lesser God) about the experience of deafness. This one educated me about issues parents face in raising a deaf child. It was a great evening's entertainment. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
