Redbelt

Redbelt (2008) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by David Mamet. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Mike Terry, a jiu-jitsu instructor who refuses to enter competitions on principle — he sees prize fighting as something that corrupts a genuine martial artist.

A chance encounter changes everything. After pulling a Hollywood action star out of a bar fight, Mike gets drawn into the film industry's orbit — and into a tangle of debt, broken promises and people who see his skills as something to exploit. Tim Allen and Emily Mortimer round out a cast that Mamet uses to probe loyalty, money and compromise.

This is not a standard fighting movie. Mamet's screenplay keeps you guessing about who's using whom, and the ending earns its outcome without a predictable showdown. Stream Redbelt (2008) online on iFILM.
