| Michael Jai White is the new Jean-Claude Van Damme... (by j-k-rodell) |
| ... though not in the field of karate... ; I decided to write this comment because I'm very thrilled about "Blood and Bone" and decided to give it 10 stars. Not that I haven't seen better acting performances and scripts before but this movie is just the ideal of BRILLIANT Sunday-movie-entertainment.I think we've all been waiting for a replacement for the old kick-ass- actors like jean-claude van damme and jet li. We have it now, his name is Michael Jai White and in this movie he is a mean mother-F, an ex-con with a big heart and an attitude.This movie is NOT bad acting <more> |
| Possibly best fight scenes on film... (by A_Different_Drummer) |
| First, this is not one movie but two. The first is a standard drama about a mysterious stranger that comes out of nowhere to extract vengeance for .. whatever. No offence to the writing team, but we've seen this before. I think Van Damme alone has done this about a dozen times. It's not bad, mind you, but there is nothing in the drama portion of this film that would make you stand in line to see the movie. Which brings us to movie no 2, the fight movie. Now a martial arts is an entirely different kind of movie, and its success rests with two factors, the building of the suspense and <more> |
| Perfection in Martial-Arts (by johnny-446) |
| There has been two movies that has really blown my mind this year, first it was Ong Bak 2 which got me thinking. "Well this is it, now we have come to the limit of what is possible" Tony Jaa served us with every fighting style out there in perfection.Now Michael Jai White has broken the limit and stands alone as THE most perfected martial artist i have ever seen. This guy got my attention in Undisputed II. He has incredible talent and has a fitness level i thought wasn't possible.So yeah, this movie has incredible action that gets you on your feet. Michael Jai White is playing <more> |
| Great action packed movie (by Yayareaproduct) |
| This was easily one of my favorite martial-arts movies in the last 5 years or so. Michael Jai White plays the part perfectly, and his tough yet concerned persona is great. I honestly couldn't think of a better person to fill this role, and his beautiful martial arts style makes it all the better.It does suffer from some lackluster acting jobs outside of White. I thought Dante Basco Pinball over acted quite a bit, and i don't think he was the best actor for the role.Other than that the movie was terrific, and i would recommend it to any martial arts fan. |
| What a movie (by Kelchubordnor) |
| So I see an advert for a Michael Jai White movie and I see that the cast is a who's who of the martial arts world. I like my cheesy American straight to video/DVD titles so I figure why not. Okay wow the choreography is superb and sharp and the guys in this movie know exactly what they are doing. The making of literally states that pretty much everybody in this movie has martial arts experience. Many years of.The story is simple guy gets out of prison and looks to make some cash with his fists, well and every other part of his body that can inflict pain. The story unfolds well and Michael <more> |
| Very Good Action/Fighting Movie (by yeomanflood) |
| I have watched a lot of martial arts movies. And I mean a real lot, ranging from old school Kung Fu, to the classics of Bruce Lee, to the cheeziest Seagal movies. I've been a fan of White because in his movies, the editing isn't done in an overly cut/choppy manner - which is so standard for fighting scenes these days. Nor are his moves sped up to look like a cartoon. The bonus in this movie is that the story line was actually good enough to keep you interested in what was going to happen next - which is more than I can say for most martial arts movies. Let's face it, most fighting <more> |
| Bad to the Bone (by ericthered01) |
| "Blood and Bone" is one of the best low budget martial arts films I have ever seen. This was a perfect movie to showcase the talent of the very underrated Michael Jai White. Great fight scenes throughout that are really shot well. None of that shaky camera stuff where you can't tell what is going on. I just happened to watch this movie after watching the movie "Fighting" and I have to say that "Bone" is ten times better. The fight scenes, the music, and even the acting is better. "Fighting" had very little fighting and the little it had wasn't <more> |
| Worth watching (by sappdaddy0) |
| I saw this movie last night and I thought it was a pretty good movie. Michael jai White plays his role pretty good. The fight scenes to me were good compared to some of the other fighting movies that are in theaters. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. This is one of those movies that I would love to have seen in the theaters. If you enjoy enjoy martial arts pictures or just plain ole fighting movies, then you won't want to miss this one. The story line made sense unlike some others that are sometimes hard to follow. The only thing that I would loved to have seen be different is the lines from <more> |
| Finally...a real martial artist on screen! (by udar55) |
| Isaiah Bone Michael Jai White is released from prison and immediately enters the world of underground fighting. With the help of Asian manager Pinball the super annoying Dante Basco , Bone wins several fights easily and attracts the attention of local crime kingpin James Eamonn Walker . James is suitably impressed and wants Bone to fight for Mr. McVeigh Julian Sands . Of course, the avid chess player/head smasher Bone has been planning all of these moves carefully as he has his own agenda. With a three word title, cliché story and style that sends me back to the early Steven Seagal <more> |
