À propos de ce film

Casey (Jesse Eisenberg) just can't seem to win. Attacked on the street, humiliated at his job and even emasculated by his dog, he joins a local karate dojo led by the enigmatic Sensei (Alessandro Nivola) to learn how to defend himself. In the midst of his training, Casey becomes friendly with a female instructor (Imogen Poots) and soon realizes he is caught in a bizarre world of outcasts, fraternal rituals and hilarious hyper-masculinity.

Notes et avis

Starts off good. Builds your hopes up. Then comes crashing down like a sack full of sh**

Is a piece of art, its only the one definition than I can give to the film, in fact the first time than I saw this movie I dont like too much but in this second time than I see I understood the mesage

Film intéressant sur le thèmes des genres et des stéréotypes, mais affublé malheureusement de trop de bizarreries qui le rendent confus et brouillon à bien des égards. Dommage... 🤔
