Critic Reviews for The Fight Within

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (3)

"The Fight Within" is clunky and didactic, and the movie as a whole has appreciably less mainstream appeal than several other recent, and much better, faith-based dramas.

Joe Leydon
Variety
"The Fight Within" is too generic as a sports flick, and too pro forma as a tract. There's more vitality and humanity in the closing-credits blooper reel than in anything in the actual picture.

Noel Murray
Los Angeles Times
Director Michael William Gordon and writer Jim Davis give us a hopeful feeling about Logan without insisting on solving all his problems - or insisting that God will solve them for him.

Lawrence Toppman
Charlotte Observer
A film that combines rampant sermonizing with muscular dudes beating the crap out of each other. It's every bit as bizarre as it sounds.

Mike McGranaghan
Aisle Seat
Although the movie doesn't really break any new ground in terms of romantic, overcoming-the-odds sports flicks, it remains recommended as Evangelical fare that's more entertaining than heavy-handed.
