From the Michael Jai White straight-to-DVD collection is "Blood and Bone." I know that first sentence sounds like a diss, but that's not the intent. This movie is good and we need those small budget indie films to mix things up.
Michael Jai White plays Isaiah Bone, an ex-con who has hopped feet first into the underground street fighting scene. In prison he made short work of JC (Kimbo Slice) and his crew, and on the outside he does the same with the help of his street promoter Pinball (Donte Basco).
From the beginning it's clear that Bone has an agenda that involves a lightweight kingpin named James (Eamonn Walker). James is a hyperbolic gangster character. That means flashy cars, flashy clothes, goons, and a sardonic temperament. He's extra-vicious, extra-nasty, and extra-violent almost as if to make it patently clear who the bad guy is. But to hurt James, Bone has to go through the gauntlet of unworthy fighters to work his way into a position to do the most damage.
"Blood and Bone" is no worse than any other fighting movie out there that makes the big screen. It's not as good as "Undisputed 2," but it's decent and the soundtrack is righteous.
