brutal MMA drama by American History X writer

A high school judo prodigy (Darren Mann) enters an MMA cage to face his ultimate rival in a fight for recognition. Problem, the latter is none other than his own father (Stephen Dorff).

Written by David McKeena (American History X, Blow with Johnny Depp, Bully by Lark Cark), Embattled by Nick Sarkisov is a brutal drama in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.

Stephen Dorff (True Detective season 3, Blade) plays Cash Boykins and admits being inspired by Conor McGregor for this role of loudmouthed, relentless, brutal world champion.

There was no MMA movie when I signed for Embattled while boxing movies are produced every year“Stephen Dorff tells Filmsactu.”Boxing movies all sound like each other. Like the shark movies (laughs). There had to be a quality MMA film. There was Warrior with Christian Bale a few years ago but Embattled is more realistic. Now that MMA is the most popular sport in the US, well ahead of boxing which is perceived as aging, we can expect tons of movies about this sport..”

Outraged Warrior, we do not forget the excellent series Kingdom with Frank Grillo, unfortunately gone unnoticed.

Embattled will be available on VOD, DVD and Blu-Ray in France from July 7, 2021.
