John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Sep 30, 2016
For the sport's fans only, though few will learn much from it. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Oct 5, 2016
3.5/5
Both well researched and tightly constructed, The Hurt Business is a refreshingly comprehensive, demystifying documentary look at the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA). Go to Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Sep 30, 2016
Everything you ever wanted to know about the fastest growing spectator sport with fighters who despite the violence of their craft are smart, articulate and likable. Highly recommended. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mar 15, 2017 Starts off stronger than it finishes. It's based more on one period in time with miniscule flashbacks. Love the idea, but a poor execution See more Feb 8, 2017 More of an overview than a really in depth look, this is for either fans looking to justify their fandom or for new people. It should have delved more into the dark side of the game, gone after other broken down fighters, talked about the drugs and concussions more than just in passing, instead it wanted to celebrate. The dark side was there, but the movie would have benefited from more of it. IMO See more Dec 11, 2016 It starts good but then I began to lose interest cuz of the fighter's they focused on. Decent Documentary doh See more Nov 10, 2016 Just seen The Hurt Business - As a massive MMA fan I was looking forward to seeing this - Very disappointed! Nothing you don't get to see in usual UFC interviews See more Sep 29, 2016 Didn't think I would like a movie about MMA (don't really watch it) but caught an early screening with a friend and it was very entertaining! Great personality behind the characters featured and some truly heartbreaking realizations about the after effects of such a violent sport. Def. worth checking out if it's playing in your area.
