The Smashing Machine Ratings e Recensioni
- RipLinesMan2 novembre 2025The Smashing Machine channels Event Horizon (1997)’s descent into the inferno, trading a starship for the octagon while preserving the architecture of damnation. Under Benny Safdie the cage reads like a kiln, and Dwayne Johnson’s Mark Kerr moves like a titan whose armor is already scorched, with Emily Blunt’s Dawn Staples providing moral ballast and Ryan Bader’s Mark Coleman a granite rival who guards the next circle down. In Paul W. S. Anderson’s film, Laurence Fishburne’s Captain Miller embodies protocol and restraint while Sam Neill’s Dr. Weir curdles into zeal, and that same duel between discipline and seduction animates Kerr’s journey. Event Horizon externalizes terror through baroque corridors, ritual sound, and a crew of secular pilgrims, while Safdie internalizes it as weight cuts, pills, and the cultic routines of training. Johnson modulates majesty and corrosion, Blunt cuts through with lucid, unsentimental care, and Bader lends textured authenticity, just as Fishburne anchors with steel and Neill burns with heretical curiosity. Anderson composes cathedrals of steel and blood, Safdie frames bruised rituals with documentary electricity, and together these modes rhyme as portraits of men negotiating a door that should probably stay shut. The result is a serious, sinewed tragedy about what competition asks of a soul.
- brian65832 aprile 2026This seems to be Dwayne Johnson's attempt to emulate what Zac Efron did in The Iron Claw. Unfortunately, unlike The Iron Claw, this story lacks any depth. It's essentially: Big guy is good at fighting, argues a lot with his girlfriend, then doesn't win a tournament because he argued with his girlfriend. Maybe I missed something.
- Rick2 ottobre 2025My favorite part was when he cut his hair and turned into the The Rock.
- Hugues Grelier21 marzo 2026a really beautiful story about pioneer of the UFC generation with a lots of detail concerning background of past organisation like Pride. Maybe the best movie today concerning this topic. Dayne Johnson amazing on this role
- Jefferson Bittencourt15 marzo 2026Great performances, beautiful direction and an engaging and atmospheric soundtrack. The Safdie brothers know how to direct the viewer to their dramas and madness.
- Kellie Hammond24 febbraio 2026Great movie
- Omer Naor16 febbraio 2026Anti-climactic movie about an underdog who doesn’t win but still loves the sport. The portrayal by Blunt was lacking a depth until the end. She’s a good actress who didn’t get the right script. Johnson delivered mellow performance but somehow with good depth, like it was intentional all along.
- Subash Ramone2 febbraio 2026Great acting by blunt and Johnson. Sadly this movie was let down by a boring script and soundtrack. Probably way too many producers as well.
- George Bananza5 ottobre 2025Hulk smash.
- Len9 novembre 2025It was “OK”…. It just wasn’t that good. Maybe the story itself was not worth making into a movie.
- Austin Burke24 ottobre 2025Johnson electrifies, nailing every subtle beat as a soft-spoken fighter teetering on the edge of desperation. His layered performance features a surprising amount nuance, yet the script’s unconventional approach often keeps it at arm’s length.
- Thomas Nance26 novembre 2025Great movie! Gives credit to the pioneers UFC as we know it
- kevinheckman31 gennaio 2026Love the UFC and documentary films about the fighters who made it what if is.
- Jeff Myers5 novembre 2025As a huge UFC fan, I was excited for this one and a little disappointed. It’s worth a watch, but there’s nothing fantastic here. I guess I just expected more. Originally when I saw the low box office numbers I just assumed it was because most people don’t care as much about the sport or Mark Kerrs story.. but they were right. It just doesn’t deserve great numbers.
- Mr. D23 gennaio 2026The movie was ok but whoever did that make up deserves a commendation. Furthermore, Johnson had a surprisingly uncharacteristic and excellent emotional performance. Interestingly, the dramatic volley with him and Blunt kept me watching.
