When David Mamet’s Redbelt was announced, the initial simple summary seemed bizarrely incongruous: A noted playwright and dramatist making a film about martial arts? But while Redbelt involves the worlds of Jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts, it’s really just another way for playwright, screenwriter and director Mamet to look at [...]
