IFC Films has released the official trailer for Nick Sarkisov’s upcoming drama feature “Embattled” starring Stephen Dorff and Darren Mann.
Raised by an abusive father, Cash (Stephen Dorff) channels his aggression to become a World Champion MMA fighter. Now accustomed to wealth and adulation, he faces a new challenge when his second son is born with Williams Syndrome – rather than stand and fight though, he flees.
While Cash continues to make his fortune in the ring, his eldest son Jett (Darren Mann) becomes the caregiver to his younger brother Quinn (Colin McKenna). When Jett decides to follow his father’s fighting footsteps and take to the fight game, he faces his past head on, embarking on a course inevitably pitting father versus son in a battle which, no matter the outcome, neither can win.
Elizabeth Reaser, Karrueche Tran, Donald Faison, Saïd Taghmaoui and Ava Capri co-star. Nick Sarkisov helms from a screenplay written by David McKenna.
“Embattled” opens in select theaters and on VOD on Friday, November 20th.
