Redbelt (2008)
6/10
To much turns and twists
21 February 2009
This story twists and turns so much that in some areas does not make sense.

What should have been a good story just sort of fell apart for small reasons.

Bad luck, good luck, no luck, revenge, fight, honor...whatever.

Maybe it's just me, but I was looking for some martial arts fighting in a martial arts movie, not just some wrestling.

I've seen better moves in The Karate Kid series.

Ed Oneil's character didn't even have to be there - as with plenty of the cast...they were pretty much useless or underdeveloped characters.

This story needed 20 more minutes to properly end it and structure it - but like so many I watched this week, fell short.

A useless suicide, legal cases that don't have any merit, scenes that don't go anywhere...that right...it's a David Mamet film - you should expect that.
