Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? For years now I've believed that Chiwetel Ejiofor is one of the most underrated actors around.
I have watched this movie when it first came out and by the end of it I was left with a sense of emptiness and confusion, like, what the hell just happened??
The fights are well choreographed. I swear it sounded as if he was reading his lines off of cue cards. This making-of piece featuring cast and crew discussing various aspects of the film, beginning with a brief "in praise of" look at the work of David Mamet and moving into the basics of the shoot, looking at costumes, locations, fight choreography, casting, and more. The action was really fun to watch. I have never posted a review at IMDb before, in spite of being a loyal visitor to this website for 10 years now. Revisit the extraordinary roles that put stars like SPOILER ALERT! you can redeem yourself and make all that has gone wrong good again if you only beat one corrupt guy to a pulp. It just doesn't scratch the itch. I need to be fair and note that I was expecting the MMA guys to be awkward and stiff under the lens, but they were not half-bad, and exceeding my expectations. Financial and ethical problems result in Mike having to do what he never has done before, fight in a competition. does he keep his values?
Yes, the dialogue is phenomenal, but there's something in the way that every little scene comes together near the end and results in a huge turning point in the film that amazes me.
Redbelt (2008) on IMDb: Movies, TV, Celebs, and more... Oscars Best Picture Winners Best Picture Winners Golden Globes Emmys San Diego Comic Con New York Comic Con Sundance Toronto Int'l Film Festival Awards Central Festival Central All Events Mamet tells a very layered story and most of the twists make sense. I was saving my coveted 1 rating for Howard the Duck 3 or Coneheads 4 or something, but my god, what the heck happened here?? I just felt this was awful, like that Eric Roberts-Christopher Penn drivel.....what was that called?

If you know your Mamet you can watch 'Redbelt' for the significant ways in which it's un-Mamet-like and it will be more enjoyable. 12 out of 23 found this helpful. I give it a 7 for plot, and a 4 for ending. OK, I have one word: LAME! but even the supposedly epic showdown at the end had more of a drunk bar fight. I believe David Mamet did a great job with this film. 89 out of 123 found this helpful. 14 out of 27 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? 13 out of 25 found this helpful. On a personal preference level, not a fan of the ending, but I may be alone on that. I saw this movie and was very pleasantly surprised.
Was this review helpful? Mamet also brilliantly involves jiu-jitsu in the main story (unlike other martial arts film where the art is used merely as a device). Why couldn't they have used an actual martial arts instructor? Overall, I would recommend it. and the moral of the story? Was this review helpful? 16 out of 29 found this helpful. Emily Mortimer is fabulous. 42 out of 60 found this helpful. It is more about a life of a man who has to challenge his own ideals and manage the turmoil that he is going through. Help Center Contributor Zone Polls. So this has been a long time coming. Do the rest of the police come and whup him something fierce? I just saw this yesterday and wished I read through these comments because I would've stayed at home. I almost did not watch this film. Gritty scripts with character dialogue that interplays like master jazz musicians riffin' back and forth and, the other style, which uses a series small but unusual incidents to lead somewhere. ******NOTE: Just as a forewarning, this MAY have a spoiler in it, but I'm trying to be as vague as possible. However for once, the brilliance in his script comes more from the plot than the dialogue. With Tim Allen, Alice Braga, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jack Gill. 15 out of 24 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? I just saw this movie yesterday at the Tribeca Film Festival, NYC. He managed to show a true art and soul of a real martial artist. There was nothing unbelievable, which was a nice change for a martial arts film. Just as it is building, he knocks out a few cops and ko's the champ, meanders into the ring and is handed a red belt. I have been burned by David Mamet in the past.
