Is there room for principle in Los Angeles? Mike Terry teaches jujitsu and barely makes ends meet. His Brazilian wife, whose family promotes fights, wants to see Mike in the ring making money, but to him competition is degrading. A woman sideswipes Mike's car and then, after an odd sequence of events, shoots out the studio's window. Later that evening, Mike rescues an action movie star in a fistfight at a bar. In return, the actor befriends Mike, gives him a gift, offers him work on his newest film, and introduces Mike's wife to his own - the women initiate business dealings. Then, things go sour all at once, Mike's debts mount, and going into the ring may be his only option.

The only movie about jiu jitsu - that I am aware of - and it is very much a drama, much like Rocky, not an action movie. A great watch regardless of if you practice martial arts or not.

Holy wow I forgot how good this movie is. Chiwetel Ejiofor was in tip top acting shape here. David Mamet knocked it out of the park here in this very low scale focused film about a man who teaches survival through the medium of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He wants to maintain honor and integrity but the world is at odds with him. He doesn't see the struggle but the struggle finds him anyway. A conspiracy targets him until he's forced, for survival, to fight for competition. This isn't an action heavy fighting film like _Never Back Down_ instead this is a well written drama. There are jaded promoters who don't care who they screw over for a buck and there are loyal members of Mike's little family of martial arts who have deeper motivations that you might expect in a movie about a fighter. It all boils over to an emotionally effecting ending that had me at the edge of my seat metaphorically.. again.

Redbelt may not be, though it’s still pretty good, David Mamet’s best, but it is for the most part an interesting sample of his work in that it showcases some of his most finely honed traits and, more importantly, it is proof that the true mark of a gifted filmmaker is the ability to elevate any More
