Written and directed by Benny Safdie, and based on the true story of MMA fighter Mark Kerr, this gritty new biographical sports drama from A24 Studios powerfully details Kerr’s life and career, his struggles with substance abuse, and his difficult relationships with those close to him. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt, The Smashing Machine earned Safdie the Silver Lion Award for Best Director during its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and is sure to be a contender for prestigious awards here in the US.
