Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Joe BrownWorking on a microbudget, director Eddie O'Flaherty coaches solid performances from his small cast and makes the most of the handful of up-close, well-choreographed fight montages.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasThis small, lovingly crafted film continually surprises with its depth and resonance.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by Jon StricklandDavis, who did some writing for a TV series and acted in a couple of B-thrillers, is notably solid inhabiting Riley's conflicted machismo, supported by Diane Tayler's fine turn as a bottom-rung manager.
Filmcritic.com - 7/10 by Don WillmottYou may come to Fighting Tommy Riley for the boxing, but you'll find much more to ponder than left jabs and right hooks
The New York Times - 6/10 by Janet MaslinDespite its flaws, the film gets across some genuine melancholy, played up by a sobbing Irish fiddle.
Variety - 6/10 by Robert KoehlerThe winner by a knockout is Eddie Jones...Without Jones, pic is a standard drama on the sweet science with the usual tropes and a slight tweak on the usual conflicts.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Kirk HoneycuttMore character study than sports movie, the people in this film come across very much as flesh-and-blood personalities despite the script's tendency to indulge in cliches and let characters deliver highly emotional speeches.
New York Times - 6/10 by Ned MartelIn Fighting Tommy Riley, another boxing drama is asking audiences to gird themselves for more emotional gut punches.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThe sort of slick-looking indie that plays well at film festivals, this heavy-handed boxing drama is really just a flyweight bulked up on cliches and false sentimentality.
User Review - 10/10 by Malcolm WGreat movie! Very moving. Both characters seemed realistic in their reactions to each other. Loved the underlying tension.
