Bare Knuckles

About

You can watch Bare Knuckles (2010) on Hoopla with a participating library card.

Women will go to extreme lengths for those they love and single mother Samantha Rogers is no exception. Along with her young daughter, Milla, Sam struggles to make ends meet, taking her licks as a stunt double by day and cocktail waitressing at a rowdy bar at night. When Sam uses her skills to end a bar fight between two drunk women, down and out fight promoter Sonny Cool sees an opportunity to get back into the game. He tells Sam all about the "show," a high class, underground illegal all female bare knuckle fight tournament, where brutality and elegance mix with high stakes and deception. Is the price too much for her...? Bare Knuckles..... a knockout punch of strength and determination, inspired by a true story.

Low-budget grit meets the raw desperation of a mother fighting to keep her head above water. When a chaotic barroom brawl erupts, she trades her cocktail tray for the combat skills learned on stunt sets.
