In Bruised, Berry's character is a former mixed martial arts fighter whose last bout ended in a career-ending defeat. Years later, she has fallen far from grace.Berry does some of the best work of her career as Jackie, fighting for her life on multiple fronts. It’s refreshing to see a 55-year-old woman get the same opportunities any man would, and even more refreshing that her age isn’t an obstacle in the film at all.
