THE SMASHING MACHINE
-
WAYNE Johnson muscles his way into possible Oscar contention in writer-director Benny Safdie’s lightweight biopic of a sports star, considered one of the fiercest no holds barred fighters on the planet in his heyday.
Focusing on the period between 1997 and 2000 when Ohio-born wrestler and mixed martial artist Mark Kerr rose to fame, this is an underdog story elevated by Safdie’s trademark documentary-style direction and stellar performances.
