Good to know you appreciate RED BELT as much as I did. It isn’t action packed as your usual “martial arts” film, but it’s rich in character, dialogue and tension, which makes it an overall great flick.

The fights seemed simple, yet original, intense, realistic (without being dull) and clearly performed by real Karate masters. Jim Kelly was amazing (only joking).

I’ve seen Redbelt. I liked it. A great film overall with the great British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor being very impressive in the lead. My only (small) criticism is that Brazilian Ju Jitsu isn’t the most aesthetically satisfying martial art to watch.

Yeah, this film was practically ignored by the ‘common’ viewer. After all, who wants to invest their time in a movie simply labeled “black belt.” Thanks for checking out the review. I should re-watch this flick again as well!

Soon as I get time, i’ll have to look at this one again. Great film, and very realistic!
