[Movie] Find on Amazon

A timid accountant joins a karate class after a mugging, uncovering a darkly absurd world of hyper‑masculine discipline.

Why people love it: Its darkly comic take on toxic masculinity and absurdist storytelling has struck a chord with audiences, highlighted by Jesse Eisenberg's deadpan performance. The film mixes satire with unexpected emotional moments, offering both laughs and thoughtful commentary.
