Storia
Jackie Justice, once a promising mixed martial arts fighter, retreats from the sport after an undisclosed incident leaves her disgraced and filled with regret. Years later, she's persuaded by her manager and boyfriend Desi to return to underground fighting. Her comeback catches the eye of a promoter who offers her a chance to redeem herself in the ring. However, Jackie's life takes an unexpected turn when Manny, the son she gave up for adoption as an infant, unexpectedly appears at her doorstep.
Riassunto
Directed by Halle Berry in her feature film debut as a director, 'Bruised' (2020) is a gripping drama that focuses on Jackie Justice, a once-prominent MMA fighter seeking redemption. The story weaves together themes of second chances, maternal instinct, and the struggle to overcome personal demons. While details about Jackie's past incident remain elusive, it's clear that her return to fighting serves as both a means of escape from her troubled present and a path towards confronting her past mistakes.
