Reaction: There just didn't seem to be enough of an audience for Fractus, with it not doing great domestically or overseas. Outside of the massive success of Doctor Love, wrestling films have tended to struggle a bit at the box office for the studio.
"Fractus successfully showcases Aldis Hodge's talents (dramatically and physically) in the lead role, as he navigates both the wrestling scenes and family drama with equal skill. The intense wrestling scenes are all highlights of the film, but the story does occasionally suffer from pacing issues and melodramatic writing." - Cooper Wilson, The Earl Hays Press
"While Aldis Hodge is impressive in the lead role of Tyler King, I couldn't help but feel that the story was needlessly melodramatic. The wrestling scenes were fun, but the family drama scenes were too much like a soap opera for me." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"For years now, I've thought Aldis Hodge was an underrated actor needing a moment to prove himself. With this film, he succeeded with flying colors with a Golden Reel nominated performance. He plays to an array of emotions with Herculean confidence. But the rest of the movie however, the story loses it's charm from the first half as it keeps going. With being gravely disappointed in the ending, I can't say it's worth watching other than for Hodge's brilliant performance." - Helena Rosalie McGill, McAlester News-Capital
Rated R for language, violence and drug content
