Synopsis
After years away from the cage, a once-feared MMA champion is pulled back in for the fight of his life when his younger brother is put in danger. Reuniting with the trainer who once made him a legend, he commits to one final showdown against the reigning title-holder — a brutal fighter determined to dismantle the ex-champ’s legacy in front of the world. Pushed to his breaking point, the contender’s stakes are simple: win, or lose everything he’s built. Starring Daniel MacPherson, Luke Hemsworth, and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe.

Moviegoers are saying
Beast delivers exactly what you'd expect from an Australian MMA drama—and somehow that's both its weakness and its charm. While critics acknowledge the film's predictable 'washed-up fighter needs one last fight' formula, many found themselves surprisingly invested in Russell Crowe's gruff trainer performance and the surprisingly brutal fight choreography that makes every punch land with visceral impact.

No knockout. No triumph. Just another movie about a washed-up fighter who needs one last fight to make everything right again. I knew exactly where this was going every step of the way. And somehow, it still worked.
Mister CapApr 26, 2026I wasn’t expecting an Aussie fight film to go this hard. I would love Russell Crowe yelling at me to breathe as part of therapy.
KyloApr 12, 2026I was in a small town with nothing to do, so killed an evening by going to the nearest AMC. I was enticed by this because I liked the idea of a B-movie set in the world of MMA that featured Russell Crowe as the crusty old trainer. Boy, it sure hit the spot. If you're in the…

C KattJun 23, 2026If you're familiar with my channel, you know I love the movie Warrior. It's my go-to recommendation, the hidden gem I point people toward when they want something they may have missed. I wasn't expecting Beast to reach that level, but I was hoping it would be a little bit…

Sound good, story meh
Closed Caption FilmsMay 9, 2026Only watched cause of Russell Crowe. it can be viewed calmly without any surprises but before launching Beast, i knew full well that nothing will ever top Warrior (2011) as the best MMA movie. « I accepted this fight just for the money. » « Hard work is done,now comes the…
REDMay 24, 2026Busca una película más sucia que el típico relato de redención, con un diseño de sonido en el que cada golpe se siente con fuerza. La narrativa es funcional, y se sostiene en torno a potentes coreografías y una energía física constante.

6.2/10 The action/fight scenes are great but the plot is generic and predictable. I wish Russel Crowe’s character had more to do because he is mostly pissed off the entire movie. The villain was kinda boring. Not much else to say. The action was rare but when it happened it was great and the rest…
Wagner Freitas lovedBeastOne more for the book of insanely good and fast choreographies, good script, acting, one that you could feel the tense atmosphere between the fighters and in every fight. PS: That's what happens when you work with people that really do know about Mixed Martial Arts!! P.S:
BENNY likedBeast6/10 Beast is a tense survival movie with some solid action and stressful moments. The film keeps things simple like a father and his daughters trying to survive against a deadly lion in the wild.

RMRosa MagallanesThree in a half stars, the actresses were not the best and made to move cheesy, the story was good and main actor payed the part well

This movie had me questioning “what’s going on?” In the beginning but it had you wanting more. I would recommend this movie to watch. Had my heart pumping.
SDStephanie DeAvilaThe beginning had me thinking this was about to be an action packed movie.. WRONG. The movie was free.. so i guess that was the only win. The story made no sense, the action wasn’t enough. The same okd, same okd.
MTMarsha ThorneyGreat movie. Loved it!
