Hates such a strong word Rephrase: Sorry I’m drunk,
“dislike marginally” instead of hate.

This movie sucked it was confusing as hell didn't tie anything in and Randy Couture's name was Dylan. What the hell kind of name is Dylan for one of the best heavy weights in MMA.

I didn't inderstand why Terry didn't just say fuck you, and made those bastards pay him $200 grand for his idea they stole. The whole reason he didn't do that was so the cop wouldn't get blackmailed. But since he died anyway he could have got the money with out having to fight. Then everyone could have done the honorable thing and told the truth. I thought redbelt was pretty good.SPOILER ALERT!

The points in the review were all dead on. Also, the tieing one limb up for a fight is the stupidest thing ever, and the Josh Rafferty cameo as an MMA insider acted as a 'spit in the face' of any real MMA fan who knows anything.

The camera work for the fights sucked. The characters were boring and the ending had problems. It seemed to me that it was an editing problem. Kinda like they had all the elements but they didnt connect as well as they should have, especially with the ending. I saw Never Back Down and at least it was entertaining and the characters were well developed even though it took place in a High School/College setting. It pains me to say that Never Back Down was a better movie than Red Belt but well...it was in my opinion. Kinda funny that people dis Never Back Down with out seeing it. I've seen both films and some may differ with my opinion but at least I'm commenting after seeing both movies. I thought Red Belt was kinda weak. The camera work for the fights sucked.

Anyhoo, Redbelt was ehhh. I practice BJJ and I write for an MMA website, but that doesn't mean anything (as someone previously mentioned). I gave it a 6/10. Story was unexplained, gaps in the script, and the "other" acting was just OK. Ekafor (spelling?) was great though. It really was a decent movie and I'm glad I saw it, but I don't know if everyone will like it. I probably could have saved my ten bucks....I don't know. I probably should watch it again, I had a guy with Tourettes sitting in front of me, blurting out obscenities for the whole first half.....weird.
