Dwayne Johnson's A24 drama, 'The Smashing Machine', is now available on VOD, offering a second chance for audiences to witness Johnson's transformative performance. The film, directed by Benny Safdie, received critical acclaim but underperformed at the box office, earning only $20.2 million against a $40 million budget. Johnson, in a rare move, took to Instagram to express his gratitude to viewers, emphasizing the creative success of the film and his commitment to transformative roles. Despite the initial box office disappointment, 'The Smashing Machine' is a gripping story of Mark Kerr's rise in the early days of MMA and his struggles with addiction and personal relationships. Chris Bumbray, a Joblo reviewer, praised the film, highlighting Johnson's excellent reinvention and the film's potential for success in the long run.
