Red Planet (2000, 110 min., PG-13)

This is the first of three absorbing adaptations (filmed concurrently by different directors) of David Peace’s linked novels about crime and corruption in Yorkshire, England.
This second installment in a three-part dramatization of dirty dealings in Yorkshire is concerned with the notorious corruption mill that powers the region’s law enforcement.

Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight movie, helms this update of the fairy tale.
Red Road (2007, 113 min., NR)
This subtle psychological thriller from Scotland holds its cards close to the vest while keeping viewers intrigued but perplexed.

Redbelt (2008, 99 min., R)
Although David Mamet's new film, which is set in the mixed-martial arts fight world, contains all the storyteller's familiar motifs, Redbelt may also represent his most commercial venture yet.
Unlike anything you've seen and yet eerily familiar, Austinite van Bavel's paean to childhood dreamtime and Ian Flemming-style Cold War theatrics is a minor masterpiece of the surreal, taking viewers to places they may not have ...

This story about a musician who's got the blues because he can't play the blues is a mawkish misfire, but the roadside scenery from Austin to Huntsville, Ala., can't be beat.
