Bruised - Lottare per vivere

I've always liked Halle Barry and Damn, Girl still looks GREAT, she's Not all Botoxed to death and Duck Lipped like most female stars in her age range.

This wasn't as good as Million Dollar Baby, by Eastwood. But for her 1st time, (both acting in and directing) And considering the overwhelming physical subject of MMA Fighting for a woman over 50, I think She is VERY BRAVE!! And that little boy was Amazing just using his emotions to convey SO MUCH! And how Heartbreaking was that song? Just the 2 of US????

Sheila Atim is amazing, I swear, I could feel the ZEN vibes in her chanting. :D I hope Halle sticks to it, as women directors still have a hard road, even in 2021. I think she's like a fine wine, she keeps getting better with age. And hopefully we will see future directorial works from her that will do the same. ;D.

Halle Berry is great in this and her and the kid are the stars of the film.as a pure drama its half decent.

For an mma focused film with someone who was meant to have fought for a ufc title she can't throw a kick and has the takedowns of someone who's never had a fight.

Valentina looks great fighting but it's a poorly choreographerd fight.

Halle Berry taking 2nd billing has nothing to do with the color of her skin or white women getting top billing. It has to do with financing. No matter what the race or gender of a movie star is, some will take 2nd billing to reduce the budget of a movie so the movie can get made for less money so it makes a profit. Sometimes a movie star will take no salary to get financing secured for a movie so it gets made. 🙂

Overall I enjoyed this movie. The sex scenes were unnecessary and at some points it was pretty slow. I can see Halle berry trained a lot for this and she has my respect. Also getting Valentina schevchenko was cool.

Halle berry deserves credit for the emotional and physical input towards the film. She did a great job.

I went into this film not expecting much but it turned out to be better then expected.

That's all folks!..
