Embattled

Embattled (2020) is an MMA drama you can watch online on iFILM. Cash Boykin turned his rage into a championship belt — then aimed that same rage straight at his own family.

Stephen Dorff plays Cash: all charm in front of the cameras, brutal once the doors close. When his younger son is born with developmental differences, the father walks out. His eldest, Jett (Darren Mann), follows him into the cage, and the media engineers the fight nobody should want — father against son, with no clean way to win. Elizabeth Reaser plays the mother holding the home together.

Director Nick Sarkisov isn't really filming a sport; he's filming how violence gets handed down a bloodline. Dorff plays against his own likability, and it's some of his sharpest work. For viewers who care less about the final round than about what the ring quietly costs. Stream Embattled online on iFILM.
