David Mamet's homage to mixed martial arts and notions of honor vs. venality--REDBELT--will expand into more theaters tomorrow (May 9th). I saw the film on Tuesday and thought it watchable, if sometimes overwrought.
Without giving too much away, the fight-scene climax seems to owe something to a similar finale in the Buster Keaton silent boxing-match comedy BATTLING BUTLER.
If anyone has seen both films, feel free to comment.
