Time Out New York (Ben Kenigsberg)

David Mamet officially exceeds his quota of permissible b.s. for this decade with this preposterous new shell game. ...read the complete Redbelt movie review at Time Out New York (Ben Kenigsberg)

Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)

The longer you trust... Mamet... the more you'll be crushed when the film, which is always teetering on the edge of preposterousness, finally tumbles over that edge. ...read the complete Redbelt movie review at Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)

One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)

A cornball martial arts movie in Mametspeak...like a Chuck Norris picture played with the solemnity of a Shakespearean tragedy. ...read the complete Redbelt movie review at One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)

Newsday (Rafer Guzman)

Big Picture Big Sound (Joe Lozito)

Ill-conceived morality play set in the world of mixed martial arts is clearly a labor of love for writer-director David Mamet. It's just a labor for the audience. ...read the complete Redbelt movie review at Big Picture Big Sound (Joe Lozito)

EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

Detroit News (Tom Long)

Incompetently made and covered in corn, this is a martial arts movie that makes you yearn for The Karate Kid. Yes, that movie was corny, as well, but at least it was fun. Redbelt isn't fun, just laughable. ...read the complete Redbelt movie review at Detroit News (Tom Long)
