A dark comedy set in the world of karate. The film centers on Casey (Jesse Eisenberg), who is attacked at random on the street and enlists in a local dojo led by a charismatic and mysterious Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), in an effort to learn how to defend himself. What he uncovers is a sinister world of fraternity, violence and hypermasculinity and a woman (Imogen Poots) fighting for her place in it. Casey undertakes a journey, both frightening and darkly funny, that will place him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor.
Looks pretty good (kinda like The Foul King if anyone has seen that), so does Eisenberg who has a lotta interesting, varied roles coming up. Riley Stearns the writer-director had a decent debut with Faults and got a great lead perf out of Leland Orser in that one....
