I think Rebelt is a solid effort from Mamet, though I would imagine those watching this film expecting a martial arts/action flick will come away disappointed. This film, like most Mamet films, is about deception, characters, and dialogue. In this movie, the device is martial arts, but the sotry revolves around one honorable individual attempting to escape an impossible situation with his honor intact. The acting is top notch, and the dojo scenes are fascinating. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Neither my husband nor myself liked this movie. It was kind of boring and I would not recommend it. I got the movie because there were a lot of good reviews about it. I totally disagree. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This one is no exception, putting drama back into the action genre.
The movie doesn't work as diversion, though. You have to be on board with Mamet as he again explores the nature of power in everyday relationships.
Nice job by the lead actor, and the cast of unknowns and Mamet regulars excels in general. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

A very engaging actor and it comes through in his role. This was a great surprise movie for me.

This movie blew! Your telling me in the end when they are fighting with each other and the crowd just has a dumb gaze on their faces and no one breaks them up the whole time they are fighting is good? lol your the dumb***! This movie is on my top 5 of worst movies of all time. And now I had to rewrite my review because some idiot thinks this movie is great and calls me uneducated. You suck and so does this movie.
