Michael Jai White is the new Jean-Claude Van Damme...
10 September 2009 | by (Denmark) – See all my reviews

... 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 like many fighting movies and the script is simple but its working.

I HARDLY RECOMMEND this movie because of it's high rate of entertainment.

By my reckon the only people being disappointed about this movie is people who are more in to the Hugh-Grant-is-running-around-in-pyjama- and-is-in-love-with-a-girl kind of movies. Not that there is anything wrong with that. :)
