REDBELT

by mopinions

I continue to think and talk about this movie long after having seen it. Complex, but not complicated, plot; has the always-intriguing Mametian magic and sleight-of-hand aspects with welcomed less-peppered-with-the- f-word dialogue; and brilliant acting from the usual suspects and some newcomers to the writer's players' list kept me engaged throughout. Will watch it again when on PPV. While IMO we are in a second Golden Age of Television and I prefer my living room to the cineplex for "nonlive" entertainment, this was a movie worth taking the time to see on the silver screen.

Bad review? Then you haven't a clue what this film is about.

Ok, so, i keep reading bad reviews about this film. People who claim the script was bad and the acting and actor selection was bad. First off, if you believe these things, than you were expecting some epic martial arts film that belongs on the shelf with bruce lee. This film has nothing to do with martial arts, and everything to do with life. A man, struggling himself, puts his life on the line at times, and sets aside his family for the advancement of others. Thus is the life of many martial arts instructors. However, most instructors go on through life never being recognized even though they are the teachers to many that are thankful. This film recognizes the turmoil of one simple, hard working, ethical man. While you say it is a bad film, I say it is a great story. If you haven't seen this film, i recommend it. The fighting isn't brutal, and the story is full of meaning. The ending? He gets exactly what he has strived for his whole life. His mentors recognition.

Man, SOOOOOO DISAPOINTING!!!!!! It was great, but it has to be the absolute WORST ENDING in movie history. It also didnt help that Tim Allen was in it. Hes an idiot. The fighting was kind of cool and and it sent a good message, but just not for me. sorry.

While this movies has some interesting parts the plot is very disjointed and kind of thrown together. There is very little motivation for why some of the events take place and the ending is very contrived and not believable. Overall I would tend to say it is only so so and skip it in the theatres. Worth watching on a movie channel in six months.

Redbelt entices but dissapoints

stop that Devi, you insane dog...

n.y., n.y.

David Mamets movie deals with fight between morality and it;s opposite. The character of Mike Terry is very well acted. His unshakeable ethics are a little over the top. I don't think people realize that the film is an homage to "On the Waterfront". Brando's tragic but ultimately champion character is named Terry O'Malley. Coming out of the film I thought that I've seen it's issues in many films before. If the plot did not have such gaping holes I would have rated it higher. The bad guys are all carictatures.

Anything by Mamet is worthy. Red Belt is unique and compelling. Suggest previewing it as it will not appeal to a lage audience.
