In this intense found footage action film, two army rangers set out to create a workout video, but their plans are abruptly halted when a mob hit interrupts their filming. Tragically, one of the rangers loses his wife in the attack, sending him on a relentless mission to take down the mob and anyone who stands in his way.

The Workout carves out its own identity with grit and heart. It's an Imperfect film, but it’s a reminder that bold swings are what keep genre filmmaking alive. For fans willing to meet it halfway, it remains an enjoyable ride.

Rated: 3/5

The Weekend Warrior (Substack)

The type of movie that’s now been done so many times and so much better, adding absolutely nothing new or good to the genre.

Rated: 3/10

...the plot mostly plods along as a fairly standard revenge story and serves mostly to set up a few action set pieces through the film.

Rated: 3/5

Here’s the thing: The Workout has all the ingredients for a perfectly serviceable action flick — a charismatic lead, a capable supporting cast, and a simple revenge plot. But instead of trusting that, Bressack bets on a gimmick that doesn’t quite land.

Movie Madness Podcast

There is a fun idea at the center of a My Life meets found footage action mayhem but that lasts for about one scene. The fights begin to feel choreographed, the obvious twist is apparent from the opening scene and it just gets silly.

Rated: 1.5/4

There’s effort here, no doubt, and even a flicker of artistic ambition, but the result is a film that feels both inadequate and exhausting.

Rated: 1/4
