This movie is a masterpiece of cinematic excellence. Reminiscent of much older martial arts movies, Black Belt immerses us into a world where the values of ho or, honesty, and integrity are juxtaposed against the harsh realities and pressures of doing what's convenient and selling out to make a buck. If you pay attention, you'll discover that this movie has nothing to do with martial arts, and everything to do with our own souls.

one of the best martial arts movies of post 9/11 cinema. if it seems odd to distinguish it that way, watch and it'll make more sense. it's kind of like karate kid for grown-ups. at heart, an open love letter to the philosophy of jiu-jitsu, which writer/director david mamet practices avidly (he was a brown belt when redbelt came out). mamet's known for his character development and witty dialogue in works like "glengarry glen ross" & "state and main". he brings all that to a genre that often lacks depth

Even though movie criticts find many flaws in the movie it's because they do not understand martial arts, the true code of bushido our code of honor. and this movie is embedded with it in it's message. "Life circumstances deflect it or embrace it one can-not oppose it".
