Mamet goes to the martial arts mat!!!

The last time David Mamet staged one of his signature hustles a decade ago with "The Spanish Prisoner," part of the fun was in his refusal to give anything more than surface treatment to the story. Who knows what priceless think-tank secret was swiped from protagonist Campbell Scott? Mamet amusingly just shorthanded it as "the process." With "Redbelt" (2008), the wordsmith-filmmaker makes a welcome return to the shell game arena, and this time, spelling out the details counts - specifically, the culture and codes of martial arts, which the film explores with enthusiasm.



Chiwetel Ejiofor demonstrates an impressive facility for Mametian dialogue as Mike Terry, a jiu-jitsu dojo master whose belief in honor above profits earns the loyalty of students like cop Joe Collins (Max Martini, "The Unit"). When Mike's chance encounter with movie star Chet Frank (a surprisingly understated Tim Allen) leaves Frank in his debt, things start looking up in a big way. So much so, in fact, that you'll wonder if all of the conflict here is destined to be on the jiu-jitsu mat, rather than in the real world outside of the academy. Which would be fine - the film's physical scenes feel like a grounded version of "Fight Club," bristling with tension, and giving Mamet's fondness for word repetition a new purpose: coaching exhortation. But sit tight, and watch your wallets - Joe Mantegna and Ricky Jay get into the mix eventually.
