LOS ANGELES—Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry moved into the director’s chair for the first time for the new drama “Bruised,” a film she also stars in as a washed-up mixed martial arts fighter who attempts to revive her career.
Berry said it took her years to get the movie to the screen, and she undertook intense physical training of up to five hours a day to prepare for fight scenes. The film is currently playing in a limited number of theaters and will be released on Netflix on Wednesday.
