It is sufficient to drop a single name in order to offer
some clues about a new movie premiere: Wachowski. And moviegoers will already
know that the production features overwhelming high-tech effects that would
take their breath away.
Andy and Larry Wachowski are masters of the green-screen
effects and from this point of view “Speed Racer,” which opens this week-end,
is a masterpiece in the domain. Based on the 1960s’ Japanese animation series
“Mach GoGoGo,” which were initially inspired by a comic book of the genre,

David Mamet is a mature, complex director who sought himself
by embodying his different facets in films of various types. “Redbelt” looks
like a compendium of Mamet’s styles and perceptions, mingling a somehow linear

deep unswerving values.
The plot has a martial arts background, without sketching
out a conventional fight film. Not contradicting the director’s creed that a
