Haymaker

Haymaker is a globe-trotting film that had the potential to be a compelling adventure/love story. However, the movie's incoherent storyline, badly written dialogue, and dull acting make it very forgettable.

This good-looking action/drama, casually paced and set against intriguing, late-night backdrops, is unfortunately a total flatline in terms of story and characters, with the exception of Ruiz.

Light on its feet and doesn't overstay its welcome.

And Haymaker is a complete and total failure of a movie.

Haymaker is a slow moving film that doesn't feel like it's about the lead character that is expected from its synopsis. The film is an interesting watch and Nomi Ruiz makes the film...

Hardly a knockout, this combination of a stilted love story with a fighter's quest for redemption falls flat inside and outside the ring.

In a fight, a haymaker is a devastating full-force punch. This Haymaker, however, is more of a powderpuff.

The picture was never destined to be a knockout, but settling for a draw seems a waste.

Ruiz, a successful singer-songwriter, shows off her charisma, but Sasso is a complete blank, and the movie withers when the focus shifts to Nick's attempts at a Muay Thai comeback.

A seemingly standard romantic drama that breaks the mold by being comfortable in its own skin. The Muay Thai scenes are well shot.
