And for the film's star, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, "Bruised" marked her debut in the director's chair.
"Oh, I knew it was going to be hard. I knew it was going to be the hardest thing I had ever done."
Berry said it took several years to get the movie to the screen, including intense physical training to prepare for fight scenes.
