Critics consensus

“Dwayne Johnson goes the distance with his transformative turn as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine , a gritty biopic that sidesteps cliché even at the expense of narrative satisfaction while still landing the dramatic body blows that count.”

I thoroughly enjoyed the performances in this particularly in this movie. The movie is a little bit mixed... Dwayne Johns and Ryan Bader really captured these characters.

RTThe Travers TakeOct 31, 2025

It'll be a hardsell for audiences to accept Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a genuine actor ready to emerge from the exhibitionist surface of his wrestler’s body and indestructible movie-star appeal. But he does that here and passes with flying colors.

The main focus of The Smashing Machine – Dwayne Johnson’s transformative performance – is what works best.
