MoviesFans of David Mamet expect his movies to be puzzles, but this time the whole concept is a puzzle. Mamet’s realm usually is populated by cops and con men, but in “Redbelt†he steps into territory that seems strange and unfamiliar for him: the world of martial arts. Mike Terry, played by the vastly underrated Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Dirty Pretty Thingsâ€), is the owner of a struggling Jujitsu academy in Los Angeles who refuses to compete in fights because he feels it’s dishonorable. But of course, this being Mamet, a complex web of events begins to unfold and before you know it, Mike’s fists are flying. The plot will have people battling it out after leaving the theater over whether it’s preposterous or not. But such reactions are part of Mamet’s puzzle, too. (Sony Pictures Classics, opens Friday)
