Blood and Bone (2009) Very good underground street fighting movie set in the hood (though don't let your prejudices put you off from watching it). Good cast of actors for the most part - Michael Jai White, Eamonn Walker (who I loved as Kareem in OZ and is generally underrated I feel), Julian Sands, Nona Gaye and... Bob Sapp. :lol: For once, Michael Jai White isn't underused and performs his fight scenes extremely well. As with all good fight films, the fighting should be of a high quality throughout with the acting usually playing second fiddle. I say that, but the acting is solid enough for the most part. For such a big muscular bloke, MJW is quite nimble on his feet and bouncy. His kicks are of a really high quality, along with locks and snaps punctuated here and there. The story isn't exactly going to win any scriptwriting awards, but it isn't too shabby and is easy to follow, while not being convoluted like a lot of these type of films can be. It's good to see the West making strides in the fighting film genre. They're slowly moving away from the rigid, and now tame and boring, structure of Seagal, Van Damme and even Wesley Snipes. I hope these new crop of fighters keep up the high quality. For anyone who likes a good all-around martial art movie with a decent story, I can certainly recommend it. Blood and Bone - 8/10
