You can hardly go immoral with someone who has given us the insouciant variety of Glengarry Glen Ross or Wag the Dog. Redbelt is a classic of the same cadre, hands-down the best martial arts movie you have seen in a decade, if not the very best of all time.

Without any flying dragons or crouching whatchamaycallits, mind you. Without even the guttaral shrieks of your standard dispute kung-fu flick. So don’t be going seeing it expecting your typical jumping jacks and shenanigans from Hong Kong.
It starts in what looks like your average ramshackle dojo teaching Brazilian Judo tricks. The authenticity of the maneuvers is instructive, and spicy. But this soon builds into a thrilling rumination of our celebrated human tussle between staying good to our integrity and giving in to the practical conveniences of the moment.

The screenplay is vintage Mamet. We secure a loyal dose of one-liners (“I don’t inform people to fight. I scream them to prevail.”) The anecdote offers some unexpected twists but exhibits a gentle unaffected beauty, an austerity that seems almost effortless. You’ll leer it in one swoop.
For some inadequately explored reason Amazon and various other sources pronounce on billing this as a Tim Allen starrer, which is puzzling. He fritters a guest appearance at best (what happened–not enough dates? ) and is basically like a flash forgotten.
See it instead for the irrepressible tenacity of Ejiofor. He’s one of those actors you have seen in strident supporting gigs before, but handed his first meaningful protagonist role here, he brings quite a spine to the film. His character calmly copes with the insidious commercialism and scheming all around him, but his decide is not without its frailties. Peaceful, we root for him from basically the first ten minutes onwards.
The ending may feel a trifle pat, or at least sudden, but this is undeniably a memorable work of art. Even for people without a flair for martial arts. A highly recommended keeper.
REDBELT is a mesmerizing tour de force. There are so many myth elements intricately tied together. Causal action relationships bump up against arbitrary chance events. The honor code of the Samurai warrior meets up and does battle with the criminal scams of a greedy Hollywood film and sports culture. Mamet frames his film with the world of martial arts and yet it is at the same time the classic Greek warrior’s advantageous struggle, “arête”, which thus becomes a spicy fusion of Eastern and Western cultural traditions. The jiu-jitsu instructor’s (Mike Terry) caveats to his students in the opening scene in how to marshal their forces and extricate themselves from entrapment by their opponent (“There is always a diagram out, you impartial have to obtain it”) all return to test him as the movie unfolds and he becomes ensnared in the dishonorable world which surrounds him. The acting throughout is pleasant with a cast that reflects Mamet’s refined sense of individual characters. Chiwetel Ejiofor is grand. While he dominates the film, the other members of the cast are more than impressive, especially Ricky Jay who plays a scumbag fight promoter. If I were to have any criticism, it would be that Mamet sometimes moves too snappily in the exposition of his “sparkling puzzle” and at times during the film, I felt a bit frustrated and confused. But that is a diminutive mark to pay for such a lively artistic experience. The camera work is intelligent. Mamet uses lots of novel close-up shots, not fair of faces but also segments of the landscape in which well-known action is occurring. It’s a very painterly come to film. This is a film that stimulates one to discover it several more times, hopefully on the immense hide. I’ve not elaborated on any specific scenes, as I don’t wish to spoil the absorbing denouement of the film. REDBELT is intelligent filmmaking.
