Netflix has released an official trailer for the sports drama Bruised. The film marks the directorial debut of actress Halle Berry, who also stars as a fighter who reclaims her power, in and out of the ring, when everyone has counted her out.
I feel like I haven’t seen Halle Berry in a new film in forever. I’m excited to see her step behind the camera. Is this the beginning of a whole new chapter in her career?
Plot Synopsis:
Jackie Justice (Halle Berry) is a mixed martial arts fighter who leaves the sport in disgrace. Down on her luck and simmering with rage and regret years after her last fight, she’s coaxed into a brutal underground fight by her manager and boyfriend Desi (Adan Canto) and grabs the attention of a fight league promoter (Shamier Anderson) who promises Jackie a life back in the octagon. But the road to redemption becomes unexpectedly personal when Manny (Danny Boyd, Jr.) — the son she gave up as an infant — shows up at her doorstep.
Bruised hits select theaters and Netflix on November 24, 2021.
