Pinball explains to Bone that Angela was previously married, but James set up her husband Danny on a triple-homicide, sending him to jail. Bone enters his first underground fight and quickly defeats his opponent with only two kicks. On that same night, Bone encounters mob boss James and his girlfriend Angela Soto. One night, after watching a match involving local champion Hammerman, Bone makes a deal with promoter Pinball to get him into the fight scene for 20% of his earnings 40% if Pinball puts his own money on the line. The film has a promising idea, which would have been effective if the screenplay had been compelling.Fresh out of prison, highly skilled martial artist and ex-marine Isaiah Bone (Michael Jai White) moves to Los Angeles, where underground fights are being held. Prasanna GK's edit fits the bill perfectly helping the smooth flow of the film. The cinematography is neatly done, with regards to the office portions and daylight sequences, but on an overall note, it lacks completeness.
Satish Raghunathan's musical score adds a good level of assistance to the film.
Kishore gets an emotionally-charged character and being a proven performer, this character is a cakewalk for him. Shirish, in a limited role, plays his part well and lends ample support to the narrative. She showcases her emotions in a subtle yet impressive manner.
Priya Bhavani Shankar, in a role that anchors the film, plays her part in a dignified manner showing a good level of maturity as a performer. The emotional chords don’t hit you at the right levels and when that goes for a miss, it becomes an issue. More drama in the screenplay would have ticked the engagement factor making the film look more gripping. The pathway to the destination seems easy and it would have been exciting if the journey had been challenging enough. Blood Money moves at a leisurely pace and there are no major twists or barriers for the protagonist to succeed.
