Reality Check is a curious entry in the documentary genre from 1998. It dives into self-defense with Don Goldstein, who really brings a no-nonsense approach to the subject. The tone is quite serious, almost instructional, which contrasts with the often flashy style of other films around the same time. You get a sense of urgency throughout, with pacing that feels methodical—like Goldstein is trying to impart crucial knowledge rather than entertain. The practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing on real techniques over cinematic flair. It's distinctive in its straightforwardness, making you think about personal safety in a way that feels grounded and real. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but certainly thought-provoking.
