Review of Redbelt (2008) by Richard Schickel for Time — 22 Jan 2009
Despite its novel milieu somehow remains trapped in genre conventions. It's still basically a boxing picture, not essentially different from dozens of other movies about life in and around what the old time sportswriters used to call "the squared circle.
" Mamet's circle is, alas, just a little too square.
