Netflix has released the trailer and poster for Oscar winner Halle Berry’s (‘Monster’s Ball’) directorial debut and mixed martial arts drama Bruised, which hits theaters on Nov. 17 then on Netflix globally on Nov. 24.
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 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.
Co-starring in the film are Adan Canto, Shamier Anderson, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Sheila Atim. Anderson will play the owner of the female mixed martial arts league that Jackie Justice participates in. Canto plays Berry’s MMA manager and boyfriend. Atim is the MMA trainer who helps Justice get into fighting shape.
Script was written by Michelle Rosenfarb, and the film was produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Brad Feinstein, Guymon Casady, Terry Dougas, Linda Gottlieb, Gillian Hormel, and Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis.
