Unapologetically harsh with an abundance of visceral mayhem.

The downfall of the American dream observed through a hyper violent lens. A tale of brutality and sorrow that lacks an emotional punch. [Full Review in Spanish]

Donnybrook isn't without its highlights - from its searing performance made even more impressive by their limited material to its gorgeous and grim cinematography - however, it simply feels bleak simply for the sake of bleakness.

The rural and sometimes riveting thriller implodes as predictability takes over. It resembles a film that would have been released by Golan-Globus under Cannon Films in the late 80s/early 90s.

There's plenty of sickening violence and shock factor tactics, but ultimately, this only diminishes the overall resonance of the film.

Anchored by a quartet of fierce performances, "Donnybrook" is an intense, visceral tone poem, a rumination on money and drugs and bloodshed as a means of making ends meet in the heartland of modern America.

Rough and tumble violence in an uncaring world.

There are no winners here, only losers.

"Donnybrook" is a movie about, among other things, bare-knuckle fighting, but it's the viewers who will feel beaten down.
February 13, 2019
A pointless exercise in gratuitous violence that imagines itself deep because it's got an opera-heavy score.
February 15, 2019
Tim Sutton's artfully directed but self-important downer of a movie that's meant to be some sort of Grand Statement about life among dispossessed whites in rural, Midwestern America.

I like my sleaze 100% pure; this movie is covered in Sleaze-Whiz.
