Chick Fight

Chick Fight (2020) is an American action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Paul Leyden, the film stars Malin Akerman as Anna, a woman whose life collapses on multiple fronts at once — her mother dies, her father comes out, her coffee shop burns down — and who ends up in an underground women's-only fight club.

Anna has no fighting background whatsoever. Her best friend Charleen (Dulcé Sloan) drags her to the basement where the matches happen, and Anna gets demolished. What keeps her coming back is what she finds out about the club's history and her own family's connection to it. Alec Baldwin plays her washed-up trainer; Bella Thorne is the reigning champion she'll eventually have to face. Kevin Nash rounds out the cast as the club's hulking gatekeeper.

The film is less interested in training montages than in the particular relief of someone who's been absorbing punches their whole life finally deciding to throw one back. Stream Chick Fight (2020) online on iFILM.
