Unapologetically harsh with an abundance of visceral mayhem.

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

A pointless exercise in gratuitous violence that imagines itself deep because it's got an opera-heavy score.

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

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.

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.

Rough and tumble violence in an uncaring world.

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" is a movie about, among other things, bare-knuckle fighting, but it's the viewers who will feel beaten down.

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.

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.
