Mediocre Movie Double Feature

Blood and Bone

I'm not sure if this makes sense, but Blood and Bone is essentially Yojimbo meets The Littlest Hobo. This guy Bone gets out of prison and rises the ranks of the illegal street fighting game so he can right some wrongs and get revenge on behalf of his dead prison buddy. The fight scenes are actually decent and not comprised from hundreds of one second shots. And Bone's sidekick, Pinball, is played by the guy who was Rufio in Hook.

Fighting

Southern tough guy with a heart of gold moves to the big, bad city. He gets caught up in the illegal street fighting game. His "manager" wants him to throw the big fight, will he or won't he? (He doesn't.) This movie tries to be very serious and dramatic, but it is very, very dumb. A lot of time is wasted on pointless back story and secret character connections. Also, I could never tell if Terrence Howard's character was supposed to be gay or retarded.
