Part Greek Tragedy, part Kurosawa-inspired Samurai film, part love letter to Jiu-Jitsu, 2008’s “Redbelt” tells the story of Mike Terry, a former Marine and BJJ black belt who struggles to keep his business afloat while also adhering to a rigid code of ethics. Along the way, he deals with a morally bankrupt Tim Allen, the death of his best friend and student, a lying wife, and a betrayal of the very martial art he devoted his life to. David Mamet’s Redbelt asks the question “can a man live honorably in a dishonorable world?”
