Dir: Benny Safdie | USA | 2025 | 123 mins
Cast | Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt
Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt star in Benny Safdie’s (Uncut Gems) hotly anticipated dramatisation of the life of Mark Kerr.
In a transformative performance, a near unrecognisable Johnson plays legendary mixed martial arts and UFC fighter Mark Kerr as he battles opponents – and intense, self-destructive personal demons – at the height of his career, supported by his girlfriend Dawn Staples (Blunt). A fascinating, gritty and involving story, brilliantly choreographed and performed, The Smashing Machine recalls Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler in its very American study of masculinity and vulnerability, fears and fame.
