I was today years old when I found out that the Crank International Action Film Festival is launching at the Westdale Theatre in Hamilton, Ontario next weekend. It’s gonna have two awesome feature screenings – firstly on Saturday, April 15 with Andrew T. Hunt’s new action drama, The Fight Machine, starring Greg Hovanessian and Dempsey Bryk as two young men on opposite sides of the Canadian border journeying toward self-discovery before meeting their fates head-on in the unforgiving underground bare-knuckle arena. Sunday will see the latest premiere for Ramin Sohrab’s trailblazing Finnish/Iranian action thriller, Layers Of Lies, about a fireman whose retirement is cut short when his wife is kidnapped by an enemy from his past. The festival will close out with a round of eleven shortfilms to bookend things and you can learn more about the inaugural festival here, with tickets also available at EventBrite.
RLJE Films’ latest bare-knuckle action drama, The Fight Machine is now available on DVD in the U.S. as of this past Tuesday, and our third and final exclusive fight scene clip is now available to enjoy. Spare Parts helmer Andrew T. Hunt directs from a script by Craig Davidson (Rust & Bone) which sees two young men from different economic classes living on opposite sides of the Niagra River whose paths come to a head in a brutal clash of vengeance, retribution, and self-discovery in the unrelenting world of the underground bare-knuckle fight circuit. The clip below introduces lead actors Greg Hovenessian and Dempsey Bryk battling for all the marbles in the film’s brutal and bloody fight finale which you can view exclusively below, courtesy of Raven Banner and fight coordinator Wayne Wells. The scene also features Greg Bryk and Michael Ironside. Mind you, the action is about as R-rated […]

Andrew T. Hunt’s new hard-hitting action drama, The Fight Machine, is set to make its Canadian theatrical run via Raven Banner in select Landmark cinemas on Monday, February 13, with RLJE Films scoring a DVD release in the U.S. beginning February 21. The film stars Greg Hovanessian, Dempsey Byrk, Noah Dalton Danby, Greg Byrk, and Michael Ironside, and centers on two young men from opposite sides of society whose paths of hardship and inner turmoil find their way toward each other in the violent underground bare-knuckle fight circuit. The hard-hitting action scenes were coordinated by Wayne Wells who, in association with Raven Banner, has handed Film Combat Syndicate the keys to exclusively premiere the film’s key fight sequences in the days and weeks ahead. I definitely won’t share the action all at once to avoid being too spoilery, and those of you who haven’t seen the film yet and wish […]
Spare Parts director Andrew T. Hunt is well on the way with his most recent bareknuckle action drama, The Fight Machine, scoring a U.S. release last November from RLJE Films. The festival favorite which stars Greg Hovanessian, Dempsey Bryk, Greg Bryk, Natasha Henstridge, Noah Danby, and Michael Ironside, now has an official trailer ahead of the film’s rollout onto DVD, slated for February 21. Two young men from different backgrounds find their destinies linked when they meet up in the world of illegal bare-knuckle fighting. There’s plenty more to the logline of course, and you can dive in a little more in my review from last July. In the meantime, peep the new trailer!
Published July 26: Take a look at almost any film about boxing or sportfighting, and in almost every instance, you’ll find an underlying theme pertinent to the film’s character development through questions of “Why?” – “Why fight?”, “Why keep going?”, “Why hurt yourself?”. The best thing viewers can take away from this point on is how this aspect of the film gets broken down, further putting the pieces to the puzzle together to help answer the necessary questions, something that speaks inherently to a film like Sweet Karma and Spare Parts helmer Andrew Thomas Hunt‘s newest action drama, The Fight Machine. Hunt adapts a screenplay based on a novel written with co-screenwriter Craig Davison, which taps deep into the innerself as we explore the arcs of two protagonists living on opposite sides of the Niagra River – Paul (Greg Hovanessian), the rich and privileged son of wealthy Canadian winery owner […]
Raven Banner is on deck at Fantasia to screen its package at this year’s 26th in-person edition, including and not limited to company co-founder and Spare Parts helmer Andrew T. Hunt’s new action drama, The Fight Machine. Based on the novel “The Fighter” by acclaimed author Craig Davidson (Jacques Audiard’s Rust & Bone), Hunt co-penned the pic with Davidson for a cast led by rising stars Greg Hovanessian and Dempsey Bryk. In The Fight Machine, Paul Harris leads a sheltered existence. The son of a winery owner, his suits and cars are paid for, his career in the family business assured. He is insulated from the rough realities of life—until a vicious barroom beating sets him down a new path. Rob Tully also feels that his life is on a set course. A born boxer with natural talent, Rob trains with his father, Reuben, and his uncle Tommy, both of […]
