Worth a watch
||Posted .Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.Jesse Eisenberg plays the perfect awkward guy and this film and how random it is does a perfect job of showcasing that.

Great flick with a twist of an ending!
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I was a little skeptical about purchasing this movie after watching the trailer via YouTube. It looked like an ok movie but not great....boy was I pleasantly surprised! This movie I thought would be just another so so comedy, however, it took a pretty dark turn about 30 minutes into the beginning and continued to surprise me throughout the rest of the film! A definite must see and buy on my list!!

blew my mind
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.this was NOT what i had expected it to be, the trailer made it seem like some other thing, turned out to be completely different. Yeah it is about a guy that has low self esteem and wants to get some training to protect himself from everyone. By the middle of the movie it just takes turns for the worse! the movie turns very very dark and this is where the trailer led to something different. it gets nuts. its got some twist that might blow your mind or if you're someone like me, you'll see it coming.It is very very interesting. highly recommend

Good Movie
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.The movie showed a weak, passive, insecure individual who decides to become more assertive and confident by taking a karate course. Over time, he goes from the passive individual to an overzealous jerk and finally a person who stands up for himself (with a surprise ending). Good, not great, but worth watching.

Quirky Dark Comedy
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.A very quirky, dark comedy, and one of the best movies released in 2019. Glad to have this on blu-ray, although wish it had a few more bonus features.

It's one of those....
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Overall great movie for its dark and bizarre humor and plot. Kinda misleading from it's original trailer but can't complain to much. Not exactly The Fist Foot Way. Eisenberg always at his best. Would definitely rent before hand.

Clever movie!!!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Great movie if you like something that makes you think. The humor is a little more deadpan and there's a bit of dialogue for some of the scenes (think Napoleon Dynamite) so if that's within your line of things when watching a movie, this one is worth watching. Following a middle-aged man who has to find it within him to gain self-confidence, what he goes through in the movie is both funny and thought-provoking. Recommended.

Jesse Eisenberg is at it again
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.If you need a good laugh this is the movie for you. Jesse Eisenberg play a hapless loney soul who turns to the martial arts to give him added confidence and soon finds his future love intrest.
