Load of rubbish!!

Am I Missing Something?

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

You know lads this film was an absolute banger. Few years back a mate big Tyler recommended it to me, 3 years down the line and I've finally watched it. what a film; fighting is smashing, smashing is fighting. All in all what a film. I especially love the character of Hammer-man as he reminds me of the rapper David Banner. Sorry lads but that's all i have to say, apparently these fools want your favorite geezer here to write 10 lines, I don't work like that mate. so sadly now I have to finish these 10 lines on a downer because all that's great about Blood and Bone can be summed up in the lines above. peace out my friends, I'll see you in the next review. This 10th line is the end, goodbye my friends.

The main reason I wanted to check this movie out was to see Michael Jai White kicking ass. So if your looking for a movie where Michael Jai White kicks people in the face and do grappling moves. This movie might be for you, despite the overly corny underground fight aspect of this movie. And the awful acting, besides the villain. Sure, the choreography has it's cool moments but the cinematography isn't as good because of the budget restraint. It isn't a awful movie, but isn't really a flick worth watching. Overall, just watch it if you want to see Michael Jai White kicking people in the face.5.8/10

The story is so flat that it incites no curiosity or interest to it. If you're watching this digitally, you can literally skip much of the parts and stop at a random point without losing much of the story development. Everything feels predictable and under-developed. There's too many characters put into the movie without adequate significance yet with slow paced scenes, making them look like they are significant although essentially they're there just as glitter. The fight scenes are surely the main attraction for this movie. Michael Jai White can surely deliver great techniques. But that quickly turns into boring due to all the fights, except with Price, has a "Steven Segall syndrome" in which the main character seems to be a god-like martial arts expert, no getting hit any single time. The acting is just flat all around. I guess this will at least be the start of the end of Michael Jai White's career.

Michael Jai White is a delight to watch on screen. Like Schwartzenegger, he gets marks even for just showing up. Unlike Arnie, he's got more than that to give. The fights are fantastic, mixing impressive choreography with a harsh weight to every kick and every punch. However, there's no challenge, no trial. He just messes up every single person who goes up against him. When his enemy pulls out a sword, you think "Awww yeah, here we go! Let's put him through his paces!" But guess what, he gets a sword too and is a total bad-ass with it. So what's the point, if he is never in any real peril? Feels too much like a vanity piece on MJW's part, too much bad-assery and no real conflict.Still, though; Fun to watch and if you want a martial arts film with a bit of a difference, you've got it, even if I prefer my heroes to feel like they could possibly be beaten.
